Speak
Location
Say something
Before I shake the words out of you
Scream at me until you can't feel the pain
Thrashing in agony in bitter silence
If you don't project, they won't remember your name
These stills in time are what make us
They build us up, then they break us down
Clutching your old-time abandons,
Petrified, you don't make a sound
Out with it now, or forever hold your peace
A whisper drew breath from her tired lips:
SPEAK
