The Beauty of Silence Learned Over and Over

No one understands the beauty of being silent more than I.
I have learned the lesson so many times.
Over and over and over.
And yet, here I am,
Fuming mad.
The little angry
Dude inside 
Screaming for
Me to Right a
Wrong; not
My business
As usual.

Injustice will
Be the Death
Of me. Or at
Least the death
Of some of
My Opportunities.
I am 
Ready
To Scream
The Truth,
Maiming
Myself
With
My
Mouth
For the
Zillionth Time….

This cracked me up, "Maiming Myself With My Mouth For the Zillionth Time…."; sometimes you just have to be in the silence.

It is so hard. I think I have permanent clamp down teeth marks on the inside of my lips perpetually.
