Silence

by Erin Cruise   Mar 4, 2005


This silence,
it consumes me.
So longed for yet so dreaded.
a fire burns within me.
Forced to wear a mask i hate.
It is my blessing and yet my fate.
Behind this mask my emotions hide.
I long to fly away so high.
To find my freedom for so long i searched.
To feel the wind against my face.
To know that all will be ok.
But behind this mask my emotions reside.
Ready for war or ready to hide.
A longing for my emotions to be heard.
But fear criples them forcing them to stay behind the mask of silence.
Behind the silence an anger lurks. A dragon, A beast. Beneath the night sky my heart thunders with hate. The beast grows restless no longer afraid. The silence is broken
the mask is removed
my fear is gone and my peace is lost
for peace came from silence and silence from fear. Fear came with anger and my angers revered.
