Silence

Silence 
Defined by the dictionary says 
the absence of sound 
The movement of your lips 
means nothing now 
 But what if silence isnt the 
answer 
what if its one our other five 
senses we apprehend 
Or the absense of a sense is it 
defness?
By the selfish beings we call 
humans?
Given the gift to hear glorious 
noises but selectively choosing 
which to absorb  
Or is there more?
Silence 
Is it really the absence of 
sound 
Or is it the moments we chose 
to knock words to the ground  
As if they suddenly have no 
meaning 
As if were bullies and we 
choose to give them a beating 
There is no such thing as quiet 
No such thing as hushed tones 
only the moments we feel we 
need to be alone and wash the 
words out of our heads 
Because of consciously 
impacted selfishness 
We are deaf 
To those who need us to be 
there therapist 
There a mess
And we say they are in silence 
But what if in reality they were 
running an office in their brains 
Trying to caustiously execute a 
way to explain their pain 
Life is a hard place 
Concidering every conceded 
being tries to create their own 
ways 
And leave the rest to drown 
Because the selfish are all deaf
And the broken hearted are 
mute
So you see silence is just 
another creation by the race in 
todays society
Built by man 
And leaving the differentiated 
too broken to stand
