THE SHOUT

SCREAM DIGITAL VERSION CHRYSSA VELISSARIOU 2014

Silence is too hard to be conquered

Not because you cannot stop talking

you could cut your tongue for instance!

Silence is mysterious and ambiguous

you often cannot make clear to yourself

if you are unfair or treated unfairly through it

Silence can be a drug, a poison or a venom

it could heal you or kill you by 

disabling your nervous system or injected right into your blood

Silence anyway aims to your heart

it can ease it to its normal beat or break it 

as it tries all alone to be heard

Silence is the shout of every poet

trying to find the truth though signs

trying to equilibrate between emotions and logic
