The Sermon of the Silent

...For too long I've kept silent.

For too long I've held in my voice. My anguish. My suffering. My loneliness.

It is now where I draw the line. Where I finally wish to take a stand and let my voice be heard. To let my feelings ring out and inspire others. To let my suffering bring light to those like me. To let my loneliness bring new friends together.

We hold in our voices because we've been ignored by many. We hurt because not a single person has opened their ears to us. We suffer because they force their pain upon us. We're lonely because we finally had enough.

We listen to your troubles yet you take no time to listen to us. Our hearts and minds are breaking yet you say we're the cruel ones! We live in fear and you all tell us we're being irrational. Why should we listen to those who don't!?

I've tried to be peaceful while you hinder me with violence. I've tried to be civilized while you act like a barbarian! What did I do to have my voice silenced!? What did I do to you to have you crush me so!? What did I do so wrong that you felt the need to break my very spirit!?

Was it because I was too fucking quiet!? Or maybe because I finally had enough of being somebody else's fucking complaint box!? Fuck me for defending myself! Damn me to hell for having the nerve to say "FUCK YOU!"

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!

...Goddammit, fuck me... for believing that I could change this world. For believing that I could make you listen. For dreaming of a better fucking place for me to go...

...Fuck me...

...For forgiving your worthless ass...

...Because when I close my eyes, and bite my tongue... You're still my best fucking friend... I just wanted to help you... even though you will not help me or those like me.

...And you know what?

...I never said who "you" even was...

But you automatically thought of yourself...

Didn't you?
