Broken Tongues

Within,without,i am at 
daggers end,
broken tongues dare not 
tell the battles within.
In pretence i clothe my 
countenance in bright 
smiles.
In screaming i learn to 
withhold my words to my 
thoughts.
In much learning i am 
engrieved.
In much thoughts i am 
called to sorrow.
In close range gaze eyes 
failed to blink.
As tears struggles to find 
their way out.
I thought of resigning from 
living,
but i dare not fall by my 
own hand!
I must but fight,
yes i wil fight this 
armageddon!
As long as breath swims in 
my nostril.
I dare not retreat.
I dare not relent!
Though i must embrace my 
fear,
i must fight this 
armageddon.
For surely i will win.
And i will be free.
