That was a time of my life
When I decided to
Silence myself.
I want to use my words
To spread happiness
Like a fairy godmother
spreading sparkles
Like a flower
Spreading seeds
That will become
Other beautiful flowers.
I want to use my words
To create bridges
Between myself and
Other people
They can bring us together
And share our human experience
With just being
Who we are.
At that time of my life
My words
My flowers
My bridges
Were labeled as
Aggressive
Unworthy
Sources of unhappiness.
I started to
Select my best words
The most beautiful
And caring ones
Used them as instructed
Deliberate in when to use them
And if it was a worthy word.
But my most beautiful words
My most worthy flowers
Were still labeled as
Poison
Weed that kills all the other flowers
Fire that burn bridges
And grow distance.
I decided to silence myself
To swallow my poison
To kill the flowers
Of my own garden.
That is the time of my life
When I died.
