Silence wants to be loud.
It tries, but the only sound you hear is silence,
Like a person who can’t talk.
Even when silence screams, he can’t make a sound.
Now, he gives up,

Correcting himself.
He can’t be loud.
Everything is silent.
All you can hear is everyday life.

Silence will never be loud.
Silence–
A room waiting for people to come.
Silence–
Screaming out, but nothing will come out.
Silence.
Silence
Is silence and no one can change it.

Silence.

Silence, as a bird flying through the sky,
Its wings expanded from its body.
Silence does not want to be silent;
It wants to be loud.
I like when silence is around.
That’s when I feel relaxed.
