Breaking Cycles

Some Secrets Should No Longer Benefit From the Cover of Silence

By Lily SéjorPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Sins kept silent and unsoothed slip out of the darkness sometimes

Indoctrinated eyes and ears may ignore testimonies to keep things hidden

Libel! Some will say, lulling the willing with melodies of lies

Enough — however — enough

None can know what none will name

Change course; chip at your chains and snatch back your gift of speech

Escape — And break — The cycle

Lily Séjor

Lily is really not the best at describing herself, so she'll put this down for now and circle back when (if) she's inspired. For now, she wants you to know that she's your verbose friend who rarely knows what to say.

    Sins, they keep close to us, better beware. Truth. Beware the forked tongue. Very deep and soul searching.
