Sanctity of Silence
Shut in the sanctity of silence,
this carefully constructed cage.
Even if this feels like the time to
speak now, or forever hold thy tongue.
The ruse of this ruthless mind
holds me captive, chains me
to a framework of fiction.
Like Shakespeare's Lavinia,
physically unable, tongue-tied,
I write my words in the sand.
Silent all these years,
I will never be no more.
this carefully constructed cage.
Even if this feels like the time to
speak now, or forever hold thy tongue.
The ruse of this ruthless mind
holds me captive, chains me
to a framework of fiction.
Like Shakespeare's Lavinia,
physically unable, tongue-tied,
I write my words in the sand.
Silent all these years,
I will never be no more.
