I'm afraid of the silence
Afraid of the things I might hear
when there is no other sound
but the beating of my heart
Afraid of the words
I try so hard to forget.
I'm afraid of the shouts
that reverberate through my mind
shouting curses and obscenities
Afraid of the taunts
buried down in the noise
brought to the surface once more
So please
Don't leave me in the silence
Don't leave me to fear
