Secrets of a Woman
When she is forced to remain voiceless and silent
she is scared to talk
she doesnt want anyone to know
she has tried to make that call
write that email
post the story
but she is still a prisoner
to the words of evil
and the touch of the devil
she is in a perpetual state
of fear and a reality
she wished she could escape
she sheds tears
feels like a coward
because she knows she could
possibly help someone
someone who needs to know
that they are not alone
but maybe it is she
who needs to know she is not alone
she isnt ready for the world
to know
to judge
to question
there are some things
too difficut
too much
to divulge
to bear
to live with
but everyday she does
she pushes on
she survives a little more
in her silence
yet it has consumed her
almost completely
she is afraid she has reached her limit
that she is about to burst
that she is almost
about to cry for help
