There are no tears.
There is no blood.
There are no words...
There. Is. Nothing.
I'm trapped.
My lips are shut with poison stitches,
And I am bound by ropes of steel quiet.
Longing to scream, I open my mouth...
reaching, begging, silently pleading.
They do not see,
Nor do they care.
They are the trap.
They could set me free.
All they have to do is
Listen.

Sticks and Stones may break you bones,
Aimed with angry art.
Words can sting like anything,
But silence breaks the heart.
