A Promise To My Captors
All I can hope for, I can not put into writing.
Because I am turning blank, my words shot with lightning.
I enter this cavern- and the doors close forever.
I rid myself of my family's voices, wishing they would pull a lever.
To send me back to a world where I don’t belong.
I promise to stay in the background, and let my presence not be strong.
I promise-
To give up my being honest.
About what kind of pain I carry.
This pain that I will marry.
And never let my soul connect.
To another person, I will always deflect.
So I cannot share-
The pain that leaves me impaired.
