I haven’t had much to write lately
Probably because I haven’t had much to feel lately
Or maybe I’ve had too much to feel lately
And not enough nerves within me to feel it lately
Man, what goes on inside this head
What thoughts, which fears, inside this head
Whose pains, whose confusion inside this head
But wait, there’s no time to ache inside this head
Silence is hard when a hero’s not around lately
Silence is harder when you wouldn’t care lately
Silence is the hardest during these times lately
Times of “What?” and “What!” lately
I’d fill the silence with which happenings are inside this head
If only I knew how and why they are inside this head
Instead of what exists inside this head
But for now it’s aphasia, it’s SILENT inside this head
Author notes
Prompt:
"There once was a moment, a long time ago,
When silence meant nothing to me."
