Silence

Silence

I'm dying in silence 
So wretched in pain
Looking for jubilation 
But where do I begin?
When silence has subjugated me 

Who do I turn to?
When most seem to be targets of depression
I'm hungry for uncoditional support
Trying to skedaddle from silent pain
Seeking for someone to hear me out 

But they all tend to be victims of dying in silence
Huh! Silence....
Silence is just silence
A toxic chemical which cause depression
Without being swallowed 

Can I skedaddle it?
Argh! Wait, I'm looking for jubilation 
But where do I begin?
When silence seem to be one of my dread
I can't even swallow bread

For silence has taken over
Bit by bit 
Little by little 
I'm dying inside 
Dying in the midst of combat with silence

So wretched in pain
Wish to heavily exhult in happiness
