12/7/11

in a room full of noise
silence surrounds me
light shines from every corner
but i remain in the dark
never to see the ground upon which i stand
never to see the glistening beams of what is to be the sun
my world painted with shadows
black and white
a silent film for only me
the reel keeps spinning
but i remain still
nothing to move me
not a song to sway to, or a beat to tap
soundless, colorless, lifeless
a still life, for only me
