Silence

 I will spend my life fighting
The silent emptiness
I see sucking us
Away.

I will spend my life screaming,
Begging to be heard
By those 
Who will never know me 
Or care. 

I will spend my life staring
Into Infiniti.
Seeing everything
And nothing at once.

Seeing all that is,
Was,
And could be.

Remembering that
In the end,
Only I can give meaning
To my life's story.

Others say my words do nothing.
They only spread anger and fear.
But what else can I do!
What else can I do,
But rage and scream
At a Universe
That will only ever care about itself.

Everywhere I look,
I see those who have succumbed to the silence
Surrounding them.

Why must I spend my life voiceless?
