Simply silent.
Never ending,
crushing, breaking, snapping.
Always silent.
Simply black.
Darkness eternal,
desolate, maddening, terrifying.
Always black.
Simply screaming.
Forever screeching,
biting, burning, piercing.
Always screaming.
Why? Is this your mind in the endless torment?
Your demons closing in around you in the night?
Or is this simply the mind of Helen Keller?
Take your pick.
I like how you put Simply silent and Always silent at both ends of your first part, that really made it creepy. the twist at the end though I am not so sure about.
ReplyDeletemaybe you could add a personified death to your poem.
This was pretty intense, I found myself reading it faster and faster until...Helen Keller. Wow.
