Unspoken Words
Sheltered by the harsh hold of silence 
 Words kept suppressed by fear of the unknown 
 Never to be uttered by opened lips
 May they never be heard by human ears 
 These words carry none but the dearest secrets 
 The secrets of truth.  
 
 The beholder of the secrets, timid and shy 
 Pleads for freedom from the relentless Force 
 The Force hears no cry, accepts no request. 
 Refusal to recognize the relief of repose 
 Is why it’s kept concealed 
 By a cloaked veil of sullen silence.  
 
 Though the unuttered secret causes agonizing hurt. 
 The beholder stays chained, bound by a vow 
 A merciless vow of laconism. 
 Why the enslavement, the binding, the pain? 
 Why be ailed by misery  
 When the cure is simply to speak?
   
 The bindings of restraint were certain to break. 
 As time blew by, the beholder rose to defy 
 Determined to break free, like a prisoner behind iron. 
 The Beholder stood firm, yet drawing shaky breaths, 
 And tightened her hold on the force 
 That once held her captive. 
  
 For once in it’s existence, the force felt fear.  
 The Beholder grew stronger and delighted in her power 
 Without relenting, she eradicated the beast, 
 The force, who’s home had once been the Beholder’s own mind, 
 No longer intimidated nor held her captive 
 She let freely flow the unspoken words.
