Silence!

For when it's too loud inside you.

Silence!

There’s a whisper in me;

Shivers through my blood.

I’ve a whisper in the body,

Sometimes it’s a flood.

.

There’s a cry in my belly;

A twist, a wrench, a pound.

I have a cry in that body,

Begging to be found.

.

There’s a groan in my lungs;

It whimpers if I breathe.

Stuck, compressed, wrung;

All it wants is peace.

.

There’s a voice in my head,

I want to bang, I want dead.

Obscurity and incoherence...

Please, give me silence!
