Not even going to bother to password protect this one….I am simply leaving this here.

Silence
Is not permission’s confirmation,
Nor interaction lack of consternation,
A power wielded through manipulation,
Cannot unshackle fear from situation.

Action
Is not easy to consider,
Consequences anger might deliver,
Could hurt so many innocents forever,
And break a bond which hearts resist to sever.

Power
Is to know that even while,
The tears fill up with memories now vile,
Despite your victims’ anger hurt and bile,
Controlling lies can force their desperate smile.

Betrayal
Explodes with shrapnel in our trust,
That you’d destroy my world for only lust,
And cheat and lie to salvage what you must,
The fires of our friendship lost to dust.

Forgiveness
Now an idiot’s disgrace,
To offer still support in sorrow’s place
When you took all my dignity in chase,
And still I stand with you through all you face.

Judgement
Such a heavy price to pay,
Coerced and worse, controlled to nothing say,
Lest shame and risk invade my every day,
I’m wedded to the cruelty you play.

Escape
Like hope that left me with your lies,
I gave my soul’s full strength to soothe your cries,
And put you first, the world to not despise,
My prison swims with tears, as future dies.

Guilt
For all I hide, like truths before,
To know will not be heard and even more,
That others brave but broken to their core,
I cannot help, for fear of what’s in store.
