I wrote this for an interview for a writing school (I got accepted by the way) the gave me three different prompts and the one I chose was where I had to choose a word thaat they gave me and writie a poem about it...I choose silence
Hope you like it
Silence of embarrasment
No sound, not one word
The silence pierced the air
Like a dagger pierces flesh
The tension rises, the faces turn
The room begins to get warm
A face one face as red as flames
The face of misery, and embarrassment
A ear one ear hears nothing but the
Laughing within the minds of others
A never ending laughing that summons
Death amongst ones soul
A heart, one heart quickens as the blood
pulses through veins
Blood that is full of anger and revulsion
A human, one human faces a death where no
Other can feel the same
One human suffers through the death that can
only be called the silence of embarrassment
