Sitting in an exam? Don't stress, take it all in. These are the moments that sculpt you in to the being you will soon become. While taking all this in just remember stay silent and refuse to break the 'Silence'- 'Silence'

silence in my new class 

all I hear is... 

silence 

everyone has their heads down 

they are all questioning 

'why is she here?

But no words just...

silence 

as the teacher leaves the class...

Pens drop.

Mouths open.

One or two looking around

then their mouths break the 

silence 

I can feel the pressure building 

their last minutes are approaching

pens scratch and scrape the paper

harder and harder

faster and faster 

they want to fit it all in
but...
from their mouths I hear no sighs

just...

silence 

they now have one minute left 

I can hear the whisper of a sigh from the distance not shattering

 but 

merely caressing

the 

silence 

they are filling their souls with anxiety and stress

but still the only sound...

SILENCE!!!

Not a single tap, sigh, word or sound now 

just

silence.
