Silenced

For the love of another I've been asked to mute my voice its not my first choice. when my words must dilute, not able to refute where does hurt go, when you can't be heard can it be digested then expelled like a toxic turd Placed upon the cross, my silenced word If I scribble it on this page will it help evaporate my rage I try to tell the undiluted truth with words infused with gentle couth especially when it involves our youth but no one wants to hear when it's not pleasant to their ear I know they're filled with fear But they are hurting someone so dear That person holds all the cards as another displaced heart lays in shards when there's nothing I can do Lord, I have to leave it up to you A person whose met each obstacle one who never complains tries so hard to be responsible Being treated with unfair disdain Yet, my words, I must refrain Abba, it's driving me insane Kindly absorb this nagging pain In holy healing provide this young man a provision of a life with less strain and a lifeboat for the unrelenting rain For, I will never know the reality if my lack of speaking while he is dutifully seeking will summon a light beacon or hinder, leaving only an ash cinder Do you hear my cry, can you tell why will his tears you dry, can you feel my sigh Will you draw us nigh
