Silenced Poet
The silenced poet wants to breath
Wants to live
But dares to make a noise
Pushed away into a corner
Told not to let a peep of sound come through
Is told to dream big, think big
But rug is always pulled from under dreams
Contradictions confuses the soul
Not knowing who to trust
Not knowing to walk or run
To whisper or yell
To go or stop
To live or die
To be silent or make a noise
