Silence / 2000

Silence sitting so quietly
an emotion so often unheard
feelings locked inside a frightened heart
scared to break free and see the world

pounding on the locked door
soft at first, but growing fierce
screams, kicks, and a sobbing soul
desperately trying to escape the prison

thousands of keys but no hole to unlock
doorways glued to hinges and corners
glued tightly
trapping love, joy and complete self worth
keeping them out of the light
unseen in the darkness

the kicks stop
the screams halt
the pounding ceases to exist

Silence escaped through the window
no longer is she unheard
free to tell tales of locked rooms
inside a once frightened soul
