They say that silence speaks volumes
Because it fills up a room,
Fills up your lungs
Drowns you
Suffocating.
They say that silence speaks volumes
Because the loudest conversations
Are what you don’t say
Can’t say
Deafening.
They should speak of silence and vacuums
An empty space, an absence of matter
Filled with things
You don’t mean
Nothing.
They should speak of silence and vacuums
Enabling oppressors to seem louder
Because you were absent
Even when
It mattered.
Some times I crave silence so much, when there is so much noise around me, I feel I could mute the volume button.

This is so true, it’s magnificent! A little silence is good to escape a noisy reality, but don’t get tempted, otherwise you could drown in the nothingness.
I wanted to stop by and tell you I nominated you for the Unique Blogger Award and to say that I read all of your posts without the courage (or in recent cases the strength in internet) to comment. You’re a wonderful writer and blogger, so keep up the good work!

Thank you!
I’m so sorry this has taken me a while to respond to, I’d fallen a little out of the blogosphere loop but I’m trying to get back in to the routine of writing (and reading) regularly.
Thank you so much for the nomination, it means a lot 🙂
