Stay

by Iyanna Diggs

Stay still

Don't disturb

Stay quiet

Feel the burn

Stay silent

No one will know

Stay mute

The truth won't show

Stay static

The world doesn't care

Stay inanimate 

Whos' to blame

Stay tight-lipped

The feeling of shame

Stay lifeless

They take you away

Stay voiceless

Truth still roams
