silence begets
fulfillment
rushing into my head
like a creek of
eternal peace
filling the puddle
where my rage dwells
drowning it
darkening its dreaded
playground
killing it.
then i made a plot
to assassinate my
own shadow
while my shadow
conspires to
behead me
i must defeat it
i must leash the
evil within and
silence it before
it blocks my mind
with the malicious
morsel of the words
it chewed
before my fear arises
and begin to assume
my shape
before my fear
becomes me
before i become my fear.
