Silence, biting at my lips ... I'd rather burn. I'd rather bleed.

Helen Thinks: “Silence” by The-Truth-Will-Strike-You-Down is probably one of the most lengthiest poems that has ever been suggested even with it only being a couple of hundred words in length. However, this was not off-putting in the slightest - more of a bonus. The writer managed to keep a beat flowing throughout the entire length of the poem with their short sentence structure that keeps it catchy and the readers attention hooked. Their use of vocabulary is enough to leave you breathless as well as clinging to every last word. My utmost favourite thing about this writers chosen vocabulary is that its picturesque. It's beautiful, it's flowing and I think it speaks to every person that has held onto something so long they either beat the silence or succumb to its power.
