Silence

We stare at each other with our eyes though our mouth is trap in silence it's time for our face to smile, We've kept silent for this long while. We have been in silence for too long, even to hear the birds chirp their song, What's wrong? say a word are you nervous for your voice to be heard. When are we going to speak? we've been doing this for a week, my feet is trembling and are becoming weak, can't you mumble or even speak, then what's the sense we've meet standing so long and pressuring our feet then it's best to smile and show our teeth. For too long we've been in silence is it that we are shy? or the words in our mouth have become dry. tell me why? for too long we've been in silence. Demeter Edwards
