The Sound of Silence--

I stand here in silences, but God knows me I sit here in my personal space, quiet yet God hears me You ask me how am I doing, you speak to me, say, “Hi” Ever so ever yet quiet am I Yes! It’s rude It’s so not normal To be ever so unpassionate, and disrespectful Non communicated So dumb-founded ……………………..The sound of silence In my deepest whispers, I heard The screams of my hidden demons And my voice just chokes when I open up my eyes My throat holds the air I breathe in Now I’m ever so still So dumb-founded …………………..set in this the sound of silence Beaten like a drum, cut up like a fish Body placed on…society shattered dish So infected no protection Mum the word, challenges heard Non bias ……………….The sound of silence Breathe I not, no longer standing nor sitting Still born, still not heard No breathe coming out-my mouth Laying down in this $5.000.00 METALLIC blue casket You see me now ………………...still in my sound of silence 11/12/19 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019© Written for class assignment (WIPS) North Omaha Writers Group (NOW)
