The Cost of Silence
October 15, 2012
The thought of speaking was suicide,
I have no strength to even think,
Words pasted through me like I was intangible,
Sweat caught my eye when it past,
Then the words began to hurt,
Nothing but insults and discrimination,
Destroying all that I am and everything that I stand for,
They degraded me to nothing,
My faith withered to nothing,
Trust escaped me,
Words escaped me,
I was alone in this fight,
An army versus one man,
The Cost of Silence.
