SILENCE IS A GRAVE by Jamiu Ahmed

 SILENCE IS A GRAVE 

Let me speak not:

Of this dead night that seems like a graveyard 

Of my baffled eyes rummaging the room walls 

Of my metal-lips way too heavy to open up

Of this chain holding my tongue, hands & legs 

Of thousand voices echoing in my head like siren

 I have lost my own voice like a muffled drum 

So I dare not speak of nights that engulfed the moon

For silence is a grave — a six feet hole I fell into 

Each time I feel I'm alive, but I'm dying bit by bit.
