Just another superhero
If I could read minds my parents would die.
If I could read minds my girlfriend would be forever in danger.
If I could read minds the weight of the world would be on my back.
If I could read minds I'd face a foe worth a match.
If I could read minds I'd surely win.
If I could read minds I'd let the dark in.
If I could read minds revenge would be next.
If I could read minds I'd never forgive.
But if you could read minds you'd know all that.
I Hate Silence
If I had the power to read minds, I would sit at the corner of a road - maybe in a cafe - and just listen.
I would let the ocean of thoughts crash over me until it was merely white noise at the edge of my senses. I could tune in at my leisure, but the constant hum of each human mind would be ever present.
You could say that I hate silence.
