POEM: SPEECHLESS SILENCE

in blurtafrica •  3 years ago 

She's not the perfect
But great is her struggle to overthrow the imperfect

A little love was enough to boost her up
But you gave her the iron cuffs

She sought to belong
But you kept her beyond

You decked her with criticism
But no worries, she is no stranger to your prisons

Her present worth is little in the balance
But her fate is with the palace

You praise her back
And yet you scorn her psych

Behind you said she's the best
But to her face, you called her a mess

Suffering and smiling, she tried but failed
Each day saw her fade

Yet you never cared a damn
She drowned in hell but you kept your calm

A little love only
And she'd have served wholly

But the relationship was more of a slave
Eternally indebted to her master

A las she was broken
Weighed down with the unspoken

Picking up her very own pieces
She beheld the Balm and the spices

Now her mind she has placed in garrison
Awaiting a trial for treason

By and by her case shall be struck out
And the judge preside as she seldom pout...

...For now I remain silent
To avoid accusations from the parliament

And save my ink
For the next pin
