Where my silence ends Mood
Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Where My Silence Ends
A time comes when silence is betrayal,
When Barbie’s become Beauty's restrained portrayal.
But it’s a gilded
assassination
propaganded across the nation.

Lost in the moonlight black
forcing through the tiny crack
in a bitter strife
—the fight for my life.


Enshrouded in conflicting voices,
I push for suffrage in my choices.
The time has come; it’s a power
scandal
only brought to light by a flickering candle.

The media--it's my own KKK;
My personal dissatisfaction, makes me their perfect prey.
They glare at me in disgust,
like an old scrap of metal tainted by rust,

They leave no one there to console
after putting me in pain.
My silence covers me in
charcoal
they’ll wash away with poison rain.

Worried and restless,
scared to admit, and longing to confess;

fears of death begin trickling through.
I'm tired of  the voices, I fight to subdue.

Barely holding my composure,
I've pushed and pulled away from friends
But now ’m making this disclosure:
This is where my silence ENDS.
