Silence/Maybe, It May Be
i laid in bed today
let my eyes gaze over my room and the Suns lighting
listened to the low whir of different machines
since the world's never truly silent
i think silence is fictitious
you can always hear your breathing or low ringing
and even when there's nothing to be heard
nothing's as loud as your mind thinking
of everything and everyone
like to me silence seems like imaginary peace
people say they have it and that's it real
but it's really out of their reach
it's untouchable
i sincerely cannot imagine it
think of it as a million dollars or fame
sell your soul just to get a dab of it
maybe i'm overthinking..
~~
maybe, it may be
that my theory is correct
maybe, it may be
that silence is equivalent to death
