Hush

Sh, I cannot talk

Must not utter a sound

Keep to myself

What I have been told

No matter how much it hurts,

No matter how much

I want to speak up

Or just shout

Sh, I must not reveal a word

Great punishment awaits if I may

Speak

One I do not wish to know

Must make an armor of

Titanium to keep them out

And me in

I must obey and hush

No one must know

No matter how difficult it may be to bear

Sh, I keep it in my mind

MY heart

MY soul

Because

I must

Hush

And stay

Hushed
