FEAR

If you hear me whimpering, or you see my pain.

Do not ask me why, for I will stay silent.

If you hear the loud words being thrown at me.

Do not ask me why, for I will stay silent.

If you see the marks upon my body.

Do not ask me why, for I will stay silent.

If you hear me whimpering, and wonder.

Do not ask me why, for I will stay silent.

For this is the only world I know. For I need

speak no words, and it starts all over again.

I live in this dark hidden place, alone in fear.

Do not ask me why, for I will stay silent.
