Speak No More

There is a voice that lurks Within the walls of my mind Desperate to be set free but An escape it can not find So it dances around the corners Of my lips with persuasion Trying to force me to speak As I conceal it in frustration Withdrawing my words Retracting every sentence Annihilating every syllable In hopes for repentance For the countless cases of drama That this voice alone has caused Instead of pressing play I’ll keep my finger on pause To protect everyone From verbal danger Resulting from the depths Of my impulsive anger I don’t want to be trapped Inside this bubble of guilt forever I have a story to tell but Suddenly silences sounds much better No more pain Equals no more tears No more scars Equals no more fears By Glenn McCrary © 2010 Glenn McCrary (All rights reserved)
