Silence.
It screams into my ears.
Wraps itself around my throat and squeezes.
Suffocates me.
Creeps up the back of my neck.
Pricks my spine.
It wont let go.
It rings softly but deadly.
Deafening.
It hides behind a curtain of darkness.
Peeking out from under the frayed bottom.
Never surrendering.
Never forgiving.
Silence.

I actually wrote this simply about the state of silence, and how it affects me. just how different silence is from anything you will ever experience.

Correct me if I stand wrong on this, but My interrpitation of this piece, is that of depression, iscolation, and the feeling of lonlieness. All in all I do feel that you took an original over take of a piece like this, so it was decent; but I definately see that if you continue writing that your pieces will advance =]. So good job.
