I AM SILENT Silence Surrounds me Even though Most others Talk I feel My bubble Surrounding Me The small Interactions With a wave Or a smile That you do Everyday Was my day All day No words But I didn't need it I felt Powerful In a way I hadn't Before Maybe it doesn't make since More powerful? When you can't talk? Yes Because The meaning Behind Everything I won't say Is power In one of its strongest forms The peaceful protest The vow Of silence For all those That are Silenced Each day In 10 minutes I will leave And let The words Leave my mouth I will break the silence With my friends By my side And the community Of silence Is something That many Won't understand But for me? This day means So much It's important In ways I can't express And I'm not going to say Because today I am silent I am silent For all who can't I am silent For all who are forced too I am silent For me I am silent For my friends I am silent For everyone who needs it
