Silent or not by Luxuan Chang

Outside the house,

annoying people make me rouse.

The car is too noisy,

and I am starting to grouse,

"That person is silly!"

But no one actually hear my complaint.

Buildings around my house are silent,

"living here is horrible", I think,

Or “I am so violent, maybe 

the buildings can understand."

Friendly, I give them a glance.

Why can they not be lively?

Maybe they are too heavy?

So, they cannot move freely!

But then I see the shadow.

Oh! They are moving!

The night becomes silent again,

but my heart is not.

My body is inside

but my soul is outside.
