Walls Have Ears

The silence is deafening
Your cold silence.
You put on a facade you are hurting
Ignoring me like
I do not exist
You forgot your actions
speak louder than words

The meager respect you had from me
All vanquished to dust
Your specific ways of doing things
No longer a requirement, a must
So hard it is for you to accept
People grow up, people change
They long for their independence,
They long to be able manage.

So why do you find it
so hard to understand?
Your future will never
be the same as the present?
Why is it so impossible to see reason,
So unthinkable for you to accept
You are not flawless nor perfection
We all make mistakes and
By and by we need to own up to them

You are not a goddess,
nor anyone to reign over me
I do not need to feel on edge,
That walls had ears
That one misstep one falter
I blundered
For I have a voice
I will be heard.
You can try to drown it
Try to silence me
Try to brainwash,
poison people's minds against me

Do whatever you wish
because you forgot
But I did not
I have left it the Hands
of someone far above us both
For some things are beyond our control
Whisperings and murmurs
Voices in my head
Assumptions that cross my mind

I wipe them out clean
They are not worth the concern
Nor energy spent worrying
You are held accountable
For all what you do,
Whatever you instigate
I will not let it worry me no longer
If you think so little of me
then you never deserved me

For you do not realize
there are far better people
who do not undervalue or                                                                                                                            unappreciate me in any way.
People who barely knew me
but trusted me, fell in love with me
Who continue to inspire me
To taste a little dutch courage
To be daring yet untainted
To glow unconditionally

To ignore the unloyalty  shown
To block the negative people out
Never leave room for them
To backstab,
Like a viper in the grass
Waiting for its prey
Like a flesh eating virus
About to be unleashed.
To leave such people be
They will be exposed without a doubt, 
Eventually.
