Whisper Shout

I heard you whisper. Not a shout.

A tear. Your sister. Let it out.

Trapped in time. What’s that about?

You drink and sink. Just breathe and float.

So much secret held inside.

Big brave face all smiles wide.

Speak no truth you don’t confide.

Such a human humbled lie.

You learn. You grow. You stand tall.

You talk the pride before the fall.

You let it go. Don’t hit the wall.

You hear. You see. You don’t know all.
