Listen

My eyes are open

My lips are sealed

I see what you don’t

many things I could reveal

You ask me questions

Then close your ears

For you truly do not want to hear

I scream, I yell

But silence is all consuming

I try to explain

But the darkness is looming

You twist my words

You turn your head

So you do not hear

what is said

Again, I sit in darkness

Again, I say nothing

I stand alone

You think I’m bluffing

There will be the time

There will be the chance

I will no longer

sit in silence
