Silence can be violence,
A passive form of aggression,
The way to make a statement,
Without making a confession.
It's a form of control,
With an invisible hold,
It's a way to keep you in line,
Without having to draw the line.
The silent treatment's the worst,
It gives you an agonizing thirst,
To know what you did wrong,
But there's no way to move along.
The silence can be deafening,
It's like a ghost haunting,
It's a feeling of complete neglect,
It's like being in a cage, with no way to escape.
It's a form of punishment,
That's more than just a reprimand,
It can be so oppressive,
That it's like a living confession.
So if you're feeling trapped,
And you want to take a stand,
You don't have to be a victim of this silence,
Just stand up and break the violence.
