Silence by Wesley Dirmeyer

Silence is my weapon
Best weapon I’ve ever had
Done with talk, arguing, and fights
These things my quiet will fill
Biting my tongue when asked to speak
This cup full of words I will no longer spill.
Silence is my weapon
I hope it strikes true
Wounding without swords or words
Hurting you with no signs
Finished with opening myself up and sharing
Telling my stories with my body and mimes.
Silence is my weapon
You’ll never get anything but
Going out on a limb could bend or break me
My verbal thoughts can be a big deal
Used words are dangerous so think deep
These are wounds that may not heal.
Silence is my weapon
I will leave you with nothing.
