Silent girl

Silent girl, they weep,
stop doing that to yourself.
Silent girl, aren't you tired
of being silent?
Aren't you tired of wearing
the dead body?

The dead body.
Body like a squeaking staircase.
Body like a sacrifice. 
Body like sacrifice everything
that ever meant anything
to you. 

They wanted a happy ending
so you gave them one,
all blooming and sparkling
and suffocating.
They wanted a happy ending
so you sacrificed your own. 

Body like an emergency. 
Body like all the blood in the sink.
Body like sorry, out of service,
try again tomorrow.
Body like yes, we know,
you did not sign up for any of this.

Neither did we.

anne,

Sacrifice is a matter having long history
perseverance is catching up with it as consolation
when it comes to creative writing the choice is open and
as you have done
it can be recreated


nice..
carry on..........

You have a displayed the other side of coin for the word "Silence" good one!

[Tristan Sinclair]

Really love the repetition and the vision. I think you could do it with the same techniques in half-as-many words.

silence will fall when the question is asked - Prisoner Zero to the Doctor
this piece made me think of that ever important line
they asked the question, and through it you broke, silence fell one by one until lie dormant
at least thats the way it seems to work in my head
but nonetheless good job
