Deafening silence from the void of my spirit I am weary from trying to change the world trying to change myself trying to understand "What should I do now?" I am now silent not from vocalizing my thoughts but from vocalizing them way pass my limit I am drained from being the best version people expect me to be being the sacrifice everyone demands but no one cares once discarded being burnt alive just to keep the light going I still hope that somewhere inside I can scream for justice for fairness for a little peace for myself for rest.
