Literature Text

They say that silence is golden,

And that time is precious like vibrant gems.

But to me, silence is like a bitter candy,

And its aftertaste, sour, like it's been

Drenched in polluted sugar and caramelized

In the sun.

To me, time just ticks away,

Every second getting duller,

And as the pendulum swings,

I watch my reflection fade.

I see the expression on my face,

The paleness of my skin,

It's like porcelain, and my skin,

Because of endless dew,

Is now flushed and cracked.

I am time's doll.

A mere plaything

That sits in a darkened room,

Forbidden to speak.

And all the time,

Time just rolls on by,

But as the pendulum stops,

So do my tears.

My life has ended.

I am broken.
This is one of those spur of the moment poems that I write. Sometimes I sit and think about something for five minutes or so, and start scribbling.

In life, I feel like I am being played with. Don't you all feel that way sometimes. too? It is something that I greatly despise. We are human beings, not toys, and it is time for us to step out of the shadows and defend our right to be heard.

Written for and exclusively dedicated to:

*K-D-C for being my rock, for hearing my voice when others did not. He's such a kind soul whom I respect whole-heartedly, and love greatly. He is very wise and he has a heart of pure gold. I am so privileged to know someone as wonderful as my beloved friend, Kyle-chan. Much love to you, my dear. :smooch:

:iconk-d-c:

Enjoy. :heart:

Raw emotion flows from this. I love it when poems have raw emotion because that means you get swept up in them. Love your work.
