Silence

Choking back words

The words don't get through

The words that should reach,

Should teach

Instead, they leech onto me

Leaving marks

The marks show the truth

The hidden truth 

Someday it may come through

Only to hurt others

See-through

Won't be

Can't be

The walls will be strong

Won't thaw

For if they do

Danger will be among all
