Indifference (part 2)

Hush, don't say a word

You mustn't speak

You mustn't ever make a complaint

Stay silent

 

Become a cloud, be seen . . . never heard

. . . easily forgotten-quickly forgettable . . .

 

Never utter a sound, my walls are unbreachable-

untraceable, because they are invisible

 

Make every smile, every response, every interaction

a movement of stale-disattached concern

 

Never say an unnecessary word

Bite your tongue

I cannot speak

I cannot speak

I cannot speak

I must stay silent, never seen

You must become a corpse

Never release yourself, never
