Post subject:  Speak? Not I.

You turn your back and walk away

Refuse to speak or even take the calls

A lonely existence ensues

Your mind convincing you it's right

Your heart locked down in cellar tight

A silence that can deafen it's call is so loud

Yet pride won't have it any other way,

A right of passage for your generation

How dare parents stop your celebration

You will show them.

But filter out the background noise

That pride can lift as if a veil on truth

Listen with all your might, listen,

For just a split second you may catch

A sobbing sound that you can match,

Another heart in cellar bound.

And so the madness of silence continues.

Pride has won the day.
