I Will Not Be Silent
I will not be silent.
I've held it back too long now.
You have me wisp it
under a rug.To never be
heard of again.
To not dare speak of it!
How long will I be a statue
of stone? Solid but not hollow...
but filled...with life!
Screaming to be let out of this
prison of glass! I will not be silent!
Crawling back into this dark abyss...
watching...waiting...planning...
I will not be silent...
I can see...I can hear...the lies
being spit out of your mouth...the cover
up ...I will not be your partner for this
poisonous dance for two any longer
I will not be silent...
Pounding...scraping my fingers nails off...
dripping with blood... for what? For
you to shut me down? Again? As
if I have no voice. No rights... I will
not be held silent any longer...
