are you one of them?

they never entertain even a sliver of doubt that they could be wrong
they think nothing of hurting someone senselessly, permanently
they dont take any responsibility for their actions
them
they are the real monsters.
they are the ones i have nightmares about
in those dreams, there's only the silence
and these faceless people
their silence seeps into everything like ice water
and then it all goes murky
and im dissolving, and im screaming
but no one hears.

and then i stop
and dissolve into the silence
its them
they are the silence you will never hear

you are lost
but in this moment we are lost together
i wonder who you are.
