Silence!

By Nithin Kota

I wish the voices be gone

I wish the silence gulfing over

The irony is

I fear the silence, then why do I wish for it?

Maybe it's calming because I'm afraid?

Maybe it's comforting because it leaves me alone?

Maybe it's relaxing because it controls the voices?

Maybe this, maybe that?

Whatever the reason is

I still wish to be the one taken over by silence

I still wish to be the one calling upon silence
