From the pen of the abused sad child I present this to u
I curse the day I was bored,
A greater curse be this day
That my essence is silenced
And vices encamp this weak clay;
That my soul dances in hell
And my mouth is sealed, to tell.
How would an evil concealed,
Gladdens a pious heart
Or can evil overcome good?
Only in my speechless part.
But NO and NO again
I rather die than harbor still this pain.
I rather die of his cruelty
Than the torments of this malice
And with little temerity,
Confront my fate, as it comes;
But to speak, oh to speak
Is my destruction that I seek.
Depart, thou perilous vice
Captivating my mouth
And pricks my conscience
Not to speak, alas, the truth;
Nay, this concealed evil I bear
Every inhabitant of earth must hear.
