Breaking Silence
I breathe slow I talk loud I walk fast I stare thru a crowd, so much I have'nt said so much I should spread, but silence cured my rage at times, silence made me sane, I fiend to hurt people mentally and physically before but I never allowed the devil to win the war, broken silence I say to myself telling how I'm a woman scorn in a way, I'm a woman who will give the coat on her back, I'm the woman who will love to the end of the earth but cross my pain I will put you in the dirt.
