Silence

Silence is golden

they teach us from an early age

to keep our mouths shut

so we bite our tongues

until we taste blood

& hold our breath

until our lungs scream for air

Silence is deafening

I have been quiet for far too long

my time of suffering in silence is over

I will no longer let them suffocate me

I will climb Pride Rock

and let everyone hear my mighty roar

- bow down to your queen
