Messages unspoken
Trapped inside
Building walls and barriers
Shielding the heart from hurt
And all the while
A melee of frustration
Sadness, hurt, pain
Blooms behind the blockade.
An angry demon
Rears its ugly head
Behind a locked,
Unseen door of steel
Bolted with a vow of silence
The beast grows
Feeding off the love
Replaced by a new limb
A new mountain, a new wall
Passion corrupted
By the blood boiling
Just below the surface.
The parasite inflates
With the heated air
Of harsh words
And soon threatens
To burst through the walls
In an explosion of turmoil.
We say what they don't know
Can't hurt them
That ignorance is bliss
But what of the truth?
The fiend thrives on
Unspoken messages.
Knowledge is power
The strongest shield
Against the monstrosity
Yet containing enough windows
To see, to feel, to connect
To the world, To release...
The truth shall set you free.
