It screams everything you fear
Whispers comfort in your ear
Makes you a stranger in your own skin
And yet is sought when patience wears thin

It descends among people when nothing else will
Evaporating reality; its sound is shrill
Envelopes a person briefly, heavy like lead
Just for the few seconds before a tear is shed

It's a blank abyss, both refuge and hell
What time it comes or goes, no one can tell
It is defined as nothing, empty, clear
So why does it scream so loud in our ear?

I wanted to write something about silence, considering it is such a multi-faced character. It can be awkward, feared, tiring, troubling, sickening, enraging, or craved, among so many other things. This is sort of a work in progress...so there will probably be a second 'screaming silence'. =)
