Have I become estranged with compassion, not entirely, I guess I would say only when compassion is directed toward me. The gleaming gates of tranquility are off there in the distance, but just my luck no gate keeper and I've not got exact change to pay the fee. I have become complacent in this misguided routine of bitting my tongue only to wearily sit and bide my time. Unintentionally a barrier was put up that blocks my words from what you understand, yet they flow so freely through my "silly little rhyme" The sounds that my silent screams make is deafening and this weight I carry is demolishing my inner strength but still I won't let go. These emotions are festering inside me to the point of bursting out but I must maintain composure for the world must never know.
