feel like shouting.
Answers
Answer:
Write about staying quiet when you feel like shouting. ... It's at its worst when you want to let the world know that you've been wronged but you can't quite do it without being completely unreasonable…and your head is pounding, your ears feel hot, your neck feels prickly.
Explanation:
Silence is beautiful, yet haunting. It is meaningful, yet empty. It is distinctive, yet mainstream. The sea of qualities it encompasses lure us in, submerging us beneath its addictive grip. Tight as a rope, our thoughts sink until they are only surrounded by somber darkness, locked away in an underwater world. And suddenly, we realize that the thundering in our heads will always be kept hidden. That, as much as we want to let it swim up to the surface, it will never have the courage to defy its opponent. We have been completely immersed by the sound of silence.
It keeps growing. As time passes, the urge to scream out gets engulfed by the overwhelming loudness of silence. It deafens our minds, reminding us that we are prisoners to our own selves. Where is Sound? Our old friend, vanishing within an empty soul. Her remains trying to shed light amongst an extinguished fire. Why bother, if the ashes are already scattered throughout, lost now to the frail flame struggling to be noticed. It is too late.
All we have now is the memories of a past life; vivacious and passionate. So far away, yet close enough to savor a last taste. Why did we choose to stay quiet? Maybe because we feared Truth.
