“Eerie Silence”
By Derek F
You wake up suddenly to the rain
It hasn’t fully registered in your brain
You’re as foggy as the gray clouds outside
And all you can do is go underneath the covers and hide
Maybe you’re not ready for the day to start
You were in and out of dreams that made you smart
It’s no wonder that you feel in a daze
Is this real or imagined like being stuck in a maze
There’s nowhere to go except up and down
You can’t wrap your finger around this quiet town
It feels different than most days
It makes you think that maybe you should blaze
You don’t have an answer for what you hear
You only know that it’s changed into another year
Are you in a time machine back in 1985
That Doc and Marty traveled in to feel alive
It just isn’t what you’re used to on this dreary day
When it’s been a hot summer, at least until today
It might explain why you’re slow to react
You can’t tell if it’s real or fake, which is a fact
There’s only a pause due to confusion
You try to block out the noise pollution
The difference is that it’s all in your head
Maybe that’s why you want to stay in bed
An eerie silence can play on your mind
It can cause chaos and alter the time
Normally, you’re calm and kind
An eerie silence could be a telltale sign
