Lips pressed tight<\/span>
Jaw set hard<\/span>
Pupils wide<\/span>
alert.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

From the lower lip<\/span>
Upward<\/span>
It slides effortlessly<\/span>
the string pulls taunt.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Blinded by the pain<\/span>
Blinking<\/span>
It pulls upward<\/span>
again and again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It\u02bcs hard to breathe<\/span>
Tongue tastes blood<\/span>
Rakes along the<\/span><\/p>\r\n

fence<\/span>
of thread outside my<\/span>
mouth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

One, Two, Three<\/span>
It\u02bcs difficult to move<\/span>
Eyes burn<\/span>
hands are tied.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

With strength from<\/span>
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0within<\/span>
My lips force open<\/span>
Tearing, Ripping<\/span>
Standing Tall.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I am innocent <\/span>
but not\u00a0<\/span>
without guilt.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I will\u00a0<\/span>
NOT be silenced.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Inspiration: <\/strong> We all have moments in our life when we see or hear things that we know are wrong; that we know shouldn\u2019t happen. Often we are expected to remain silent; to look away. We often feel guilt for what we see or hear even though we took no part other than bear witness. How could or should we deal with these moments… that is the question… <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
