Inside the Silence.

ANOTHER poem I wrote a while ago, haha. I take this poem more into a personal feeling now in a way, but a few of my friends are gay and bisexual, and when they didn't have anyone I was there. I know it's not so much of a drastic event anymore, but I still

The silence hits you like a bomb,

A quake of fear beneath your feet.

It’s like,

Everything around you has just frozen.

Time.

It seems to have no meaning anymore.

Your parents treat you differently,

Not quite being able to understand.

You're forced into an outcast life of betrayal and fear,

And suddenly everything turns black.

Nobody.

They’ll never know how you feel.

They’ll shun you out,

Not,

Protect.

They think that their sympathy will turn into hate,

And they’ll turn into someone that they’d never dreamed of becoming.

Inside the heart,

Love.

Accept the unaccepted.

Don’t turn them away.

This silence.

It echoes a million times off these walls.

It burns the fire in your eyes.

It picks up the siren,

Deafening.

This silence is.

Nobody will ever know how you feel.

Forever,

This pain,

This silence,

It will echo,

It will linger,

It will burn.

Nobody will ever know how you feel.

Desperate to fit in a world that doesn’t want you,

Inside an atmosphere that pushes you out.

Hold out a hand,

Be that person to hold onto something and not let go.

Kill,

The silence.

This silence hits you like a bomb,

A quake of fear beneath your feet.

Everything around you has just frozen,

And nothing will ever be the same again.

Nobody will ever know how you feel.

Nobody.

Author's Note

Is it cliche? It was written a while ago and I went over it but still, tell me if there is anything in there that seems unbearably cliche.

Wow... This is a really powerful poem. Your line "This silence hits you like a bomb" describes the poem pretty well. This poem hits you like a bomb. I like the way its written and how bluntly you called out those feelings. Great write.

I think this was a somewhat dark, but fascinating poem. It kept me hooked and it was a demanding poem. great job! Awesome :)

Sometime silence is best. A powerful poem. We need to go inside our own mind and figure things out. A excellent poem.
