run faster
go farther
smile harder
talk louder
because my voice
is loud enough
to drown out the pain
the stress, the noise
brings too much comfort
because without it all
I'm left
with the most painful thing of all
silence.
it screams
louder than anything else
it laughs in my face
gets joy from my tears
so why let silence hurt me?
when I can just run away
every minute, every hour
spent running faster
going farther
smiling harder
talking louder
to escape the grasp
silence has on my thoughts.
