Quiet (From "Matilda the Musical")

Have you ever wondered

  • Have you ever wondered
  • Well I have
  • About how when I say say red
  • For example
  • There's no way of knowing if red
  • Means the same thing in your head
  • As red means in my head
  • When someone says red
  • And how if we are traveling at
  • Almost the speed of light
  • And we're holding a light
  • That light would still travel away from us
  • At the full speed of light
  • Which seems right in a way
  • But what I'm trying to say
  • I'm not sure
  • But I wonder if inside my head
  • I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends
  • These answers come into my mind unbidden
  • These stories delivered to me fully written
  • And when everyone shouts like they seem to like shouting
  • The noise in my head is incredibly loud
  • And I just wish they'd stop
  • My dad and my mum
  • And the telly and stories would stop for just once
  • And I'm sorry
  • I'm not quite explaining it right
  • But this noise becomes anger and the anger is light
  • And its burning inside me would usually fade
  • But it isn't today
  • And the heat and the shouting
  • And my heart is pounding
  • And my eyes are burning
  • And suddenly everything
  • Everything is
  • Quiet
  • Like silence but not really silent
  • Just that still sort of quiet
  • Like the sound of a page being turned in a book
  • Or a pause in a walk in the woods
  • Quiet
  • Like silence
  • But not really silent
  • Just that nice kind of quiet
  • Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed
  • Just the sound of your heart in your head
  • And though the people around me
  • Their mouths are still moving
  • The words they are forming
  • Cannot reach me anymore
  • And it is quiet
  • And I am warm
  • Like I've sailed
  • Into the eye of the storm
