Silence
I can't stand silence!
 The eerie echo of nothing
 It eats my insides away,
 It leaves my friends heart broken.
 Silence, how awful you are.
 With ear piercing shrieks that don't exist
 you leave poor little questions in the air that sting
 I don't know what's worse to hear depressing words
 Or the silence that stabbingly hurts.
 There's nothing, no lips being moved..
 No small little hushes and smiles of gloom
 Just shush, and hush
 Silence completely.
 Yet they all ask me, they all plead.
 And I attempt to open my mouth to speak.
 "Mana, how are you!"
 No answer, no words only cold pleasure and a slight tickle of earth.
 I am silence. I don't speak
 I am sadly the ear peircing shriek.
