My Silence, My Fear Staring into silence, the sound of the unknown Unrelenting noise, this silence - the fear of what's to come Not a fear that brings dred, or flight from where I am More of a respectful pose, to prepare for what's ahead My mind has been prepared and trained for what to do My body has been disciplined and strengthened to follow through Years of thoughtless living, making decisions without reason Took years of corrective thinking to shape this man for this season Though some may see a broken man, the product of a system Their sight is blinded by prejudice, committing shameful treason For there are some who pretend and hide, judjing like they're god Forgetting their own reflection, a self-image - a facade The sound of their own silence, another fear to face An opportunity placed before me, help or run away Empathy on a new level, their fear becomes my own Finding strength together, stronger than on my own. #review
