The Bridge


People need words

words are powerful.

people need something to escape.

no more silence

i need to hear them even if they hurt.

my body needs them to feel things.

Save me, please save me

you say

don't talk, don't cry, don't scream

they can hear you, they are always there

hiding in the darkness.

ready to attack

if you talk you open the bridge

if you cry you burn the bridge

if you scream you trap them within you

if you fight, you have already let them won

let them know they can't effect you

demons.

the bridge in between
