Hey there! It's thecolorofthesky here to review your poem. To start, I appreciate the concept of this poem, but it seems like the ideas need to be synthesized. There are really powerful lines, but they are scattered throughout the work. With that, let's look at each stanza!
Stanza I: A period or semicolon after the first line would add emphasis to the second line.
is a bit redundant. Screaming implies no words unless specified. You could scream something, like a phrase that could carry on throughout the poem, or you could leave it with screaming. I would also omitI'm wordlessly screaming

Stanza III:Just the statement of how you feel about the absence of sound is more prominent than this quote placed before it.(If I think about it too much,
Stanza IV: There are quite a few conventional errors in this stanza. Decide what you are doing with the line breaks in this section and try to avoid fragments such asConvince myself it's not truly empty space

Stanza VI: The listing in the first line might be a little much, but the mic drop lines at the end are lovely.
Wonderful job! Let me know if you revise. Write on!
