Suppressed Past

Death of one, truly sad to see,
Nothing able to add up to this degree.
Revenge, oh so sweet,
Lick it up like a treat.

The stains in our future not forgotten,
Waiting for the moment, where and when.
Your unique beauty makes you an easy mark,
What they don’t know is you are a bright spark.

Stand up for the thoughts in my mind,
Not a single opinion left behind.
Bruises hidden, secrets kept,
Anger put on when they thought the kids slept.

Just wait a minute, see what I can do,
The power withheld has been subdued,
Dull, normal, ordinary,
Great opportunity, extraordinary.
