Living a life of fabrication-
Reinventing daily the person you have come to know-
Because I'm worthless, I'm disposable.
Recklessly subdued,
Hiding behind my delicate wall
To ensure I don't step on your toes.
Why Silence?
I choke on the words that threaten my sanity,
Swallow them as to save you from the shocking truth.
I'm dying-
My silence about to become a shameful permanence.
The immediacy of the predicament
Leaves me reeling in agony.
A statement of the obvious
Does nothing when you will not hear me.
Why Silence?
It crushes the vitality begging to break through.
Unspoken travesties do not heal with time-
They fester and multiply...
Your cliche' antidotes do not remedy my malfunctions.
Why Silence?
Yell, scream, weep, but do not stifle my voice.
I'd rather you crush me under your fist
Than make me live in the strained hush of your void.
Why Silence?
I choke on the words that threaten my sanity,
Swallow them as to save you from the shocking truth.
I'm dying-
My silence about to become a shameful permanence.
Why Silence?
Your divergence from the truth
Is torturing the humanity in me.
