She is Silent
She is silent
 She never asks
 She never speaks
 She never issues a sound
 
 Yet
 
 She is loudest of them all
 She screams and begs
 She hurts and bleeds
 She has terrible fits of emotion
 
 Still
 
 She stays quiet
 She sits in her place
 No one bothers her space
 Her body is unmoved
 
 But
 
 Her spirit emits fire
 It fights to emerge from beneath
 To get out of its sheath
 It wants to murder those killing words
 
 In response
 
 The walls and the mask gain strength
 They use layers to make themselves thicker
 They use books as bricks to become wider
 Making them impenetrable
 
 Until
 
 She is given a canvas
 Violently splashing paint across the fabric
 Furiously pressing the page with uncontained havoc
 It is all let out in bright colors and powerful words
 
 Then
 
 Suddenly she stops mid-stroke
 She stares, exhausted, at what she has made
 She realizes she must take the path that has been laid
 The new determination rushes her to her next class
 
 Upon arriving
 
 They speak with faded blackness
 She abandons her ambitious personal duty
 She smiles sadly at her lost opportunity
 She keeps her silent walls
 
 Eventually
 They Will Fall.
