i keep my silence, <br />never talking to anybody, <br />my eyes stay on the floor, <br />i refuse to meet their eyes, <br />becaue if i do they will see the lies, <br />lies ive told to cover the truth, <br />they ask how i got the bruise, <br />i stay silent, <br />i dont answer, <br />if i do she'll come for me, <br />attacking me, <br />basically killing me, <br />tears fall from my eyes, <br />so silent, <br />i look up, <br />i see the door, <br />i take my chance, <br />i leave, <br />silently.<br /><br />Alicia Roseberry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silent-33/
