Silence Has My Voice

-Silence Has My Voice-
by
Keaton Foster



I have died
I am dead
Deceased
No longer me
Death has my heart
Silence has my voice
Emptiness has claimed my brain
Sudden and tragic was my end
Little difference from my life
I suffered more than required
I lingered for moments
That felt like an eternity
My children and my wife
Sadly overjoyed
Not because of my death
But rather because of my new
Forcefully found sense of peace
They are happy that I
A man that has spent his life
Kicking, fighting, screaming
Begging for God to lend reason
Never understanding how he
A being of such supremeness
Could have made such a mistake
My family didn’t want my death
But they didn’t wish me life
In the middle they remain
Free from the guilt of saying
That he is in a far better place
I will miss them as much as I can
Which in my present state
Is absolutely not at all
Silence has my voice
My words will speak for me
Now that I can no longer
Speak for myself
They will let others
Those beyond my family
Know that I was here
Upon the hands of time
I have served my sentence
In death I find freedom
Neither Heaven nor Hell
Just nothing that I know
A blank void of nothing good
And nothing bad
I am at peace
I am free
I have died
I am dead
Deceased
No longer me
No longer anything or anyone
Silence has my voice
Never again will I be heard…
