Staying silent, thinking that time will standstill,
I wait to stay unnoticed by all that will fulfill.
Suppressed in my heart, a yearning to creep out,
The shell I created cannot easily break apart.
Shadows around me slowly rise to the heavens,
While I wait silently, the years passing hasten.
Break the shell,
Break the indecision,
Break the words that hold me back,
Break the barriers that I cannot hack.
Staying silent, embracing my avenue of inhibition,
I realize my thick shell will hinder my composition.
Suppressed in my heart, watching it slowly collide,
The colors and shapes lose their once unique side.
Images become clear as I slowly glide forward,
No longer waiting, the years entice me aboard.
Reveal the hope, no longer hidden by my silence,
Reveal the life, once lost in the shadows waiting.
Breaking the silence, no longer waiting indefinitely,
Revealing my words, joining each sentence uniquely.
