Silence hurts
it envelopes you
so you can't move;
and makes you fear
if you do find the words-
to utter your truth
it will be scorned.
Silence hurts
as it stands
menacingly
between you
and loved ones
filling the throat
with concrete
the tongue with
jagged glass...
untill you bleed
from the inside out
and silence is
replaced by sobs
About Caitlin
Hey, all! I'm Caitlin. I'm 15 and, like many of you, didn't start 'living' until about 6 months ago, when I began treatment for the OCD I've had since I was a child. I enjoy photography, graphic design, web design, reading, and... neuroscience. I'm a geek in every sense of the word, but at least I'm happy. I decided to make this website partly for selfish reasons; I needed to prove I wasn't alone. So many sites out there are great, but not many are geared towards teens. I hope you all can find solace in knowing you're not alone. I know I have.
