i'm quiet
i was probably born w/ my mouth closed,
i feel this is how i'm supposed to be.
i despise talking,
every sentence feels like Death's decree -
was it a crime to declare my love for her peace?
was it a crime for the saints of yesterday to speak the Lord's dream for you & me? -
Peter was crucified upside down, only because he didn't want to bleed the way Jesus bled.
what would stop anyone from doing that to me?
opinions are just opinions until stature makes it obsolete, then it's a law i disagreed w/ -
i'd rather not speak.

they say i live in the land of the free, lucky me.
