Poetry

Silence

Overworked past my limits
I hear them comment on my craft
Voices speaking in my head
In my mind i remain trapped

Writing words to process themes
Themes of growing, changing, transformation
However i can’t help but analyze my own
Societal condemnation

A past persona re-entering unannounced
Rehashing old traumas into new
A reminder of my lack of self respect
Will you ever learn the consequences of the actions you do

Speaking words of affirmation to my loved ones around me
Consoling those through hard times
But in the end what’s not revealing
Is my true self loathing feeling

In the end i keep quiet
All i truly have needed was guidance
So in the background i remain
Suffering in silence.
