The Ether of Silence
A man screams for help
but no one hears him
He screams on the inside
but his screams are consumed by his internal ether
Swallowing every cry for help
Tears fill his eyes as he tries to ask a stranger for help
Nothing but Silence
The man falls in compliance with silence
Too afraid to trust
because he knows once you trust
the shield protecting you begins to rust
Vulnerable to the emotional attacks of Man/Woman
As his screams are silenced by his internal ether
he has no choice but to wait
for a voice to question
"What's wrong?"
"Are you okay?"
