I shall remain silent
I shall not speak my heart,
My soul
I shall keep to myself,
my hopes,
my dreams,
my truths.
I shall not speak aloud,
nor even whisper my soul,
to anyone at all.
For if I remain silent,
and bear the burden of
my soul alone,
I cannot be hurt by any,
not by you,
not even by myself.
If I remain silent.
