Silence builds an awful wreckage of a girl <br />It feeds on loneliness and creates a void <br />Gray shadows haunt and torment and torture <br />A teenager is stricken and destroyed <br /> <br />There is no sound of laughter or happiness here <br />The little one has thrown in the towel today <br />Somber, melancholy moods decay the soul <br />It is futile to hope and dream and pray <br /> <br />Emptiness builds a home in this woman <br />In this girl, this child where hollows have bred <br />A deepening sea of nowhereness consumes <br />And eats away at every connecting thread <br /> <br />Confusion feeds like a savage inside her, <br />Leaving nothing considered worthy remains <br />Destined to walk through life less ordinary <br />Alone, exiled, different and disdained.<br /><br />Theresa Goertz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silence-changes-who-you-are/
