Dead Silent Stare

So much yelling

All around me

Everybody is so happy to see someone there

All these different voices

Shouting with emotion

I cover my ears

In attempts to drown it out

I don't belong here

I'm hidden away in a corner

With my mind in another world

A world with only you in it

But that isn't the reality of now

They're all standing and shouting

Loudly, yet louder still

My eardrums could burst

I can't even hear myself breathe

And all these people are still screaming

But, it's when I look at you

With a dead silent stare

I'm actually the loudest one of all
