Shhhh.......

The gripping silence The dying pain Wanting to scream out But afraid of the shame Wanting to be like every other Wanting nothing to change Wanting to scream out At an amazing range. The crowd grows silent, silent still Thinking that someone will say, "Stop with the silence, nothing is coming, Just all go on your way." But no one says anything And they stay there, on that landing In nothing but silence Not even understanding.
