Silent

I wanted to speak, but I had no voice. I wanted things to change, but had no choice. I wanted to answer questions, that never came. And wasted time playing a ridiculous game. I tried to right all that was wrong. But faltered, realizing I was not that strong. I had to fight against enemies dear. I lost the battle, gave into my fear. In disbelief, I saw my world fall apart. Echoing words, "make a new start". I felt empty, for what I had lost. But, taking a stand, was too high a cost. I wanted to tell what I knew, and could prove. But I was tightly bound and couldn't move. The anger and resentment inside of me, I could not express, I was forced to be...silent.
