It is easy to become lost in silence,
To close your eyes and tear down the walls,
Give in to thoughts and their quiescent
violence,
Answer the deafening, soundless calls,
The lure is great and difficult to resist,
Only a will of iron bars the way,
Unfazed, they continue to insist,
Only a resolve of steel keeps them at bay,
I know what will happen if they break
through,
Soon enough I will become you,
The one who feels and hurts and cries,
The one who writes and dreams and dies,
I want to let you out, set you free,
But I live in a world where you cannot be,
In the dark musty dungeon you must remain,
And hope the day comes for you to reign,
Someday I will succumb,
Struck deaf and blind and dumb,
It is not difficult to go insane,
In a world filled with the inane,
