Silence

I wrote this after an encounter with discrimination, for the fact that I was holding my girlfriends hand.

Something to come. Going slow to only run. 

Running from who we are. 

Who ever thought we would take it this far. 

Who says I am not whole. 

My soul is breaking a million rules.  

According to whom? 

Happier than ever, she says how could it get better. 

I can't get it out of my head. 

See it go. I look over my shoulder. 

Look the world over, yet again. 

Nothing stands, not for who they truly are, who they want to be.

I'm just me so let it be. 

I look into his eyes, a feeling I could never describe. 

My soul could burst yet those hands pull me away first. 

Taken back to another time. 

Times like that I thought I would never find. 

They find me, all in time. 

So I continue to speak my mind. 

Speak for those who can't let out a sound. 

Silence bound from the past until now. 

Counting numbers, to only remember. 

Was I once there before? Now I cannot recall. 

Coming back for more, one day I'll feel no remorse. 

Silence isn't the way to go.

For no one hears not a single soul. 

Souls speak loudly. Connect through sounds. 

Ba-boom ba-boom ba-boom, plays my soul right now. 

Forever in tune with everyone in this room.
