Fear.Hate.Secrets.Silence

Songs of…
Silence and secrets
And for a lack of a better word…
Fear.
Fear of being without
Or with,
Or alongside of
Hate.
There is no reason for
Hate.
But we deal.
We deal with being angry,
Pissed off
(we deal our own decks of cards)
And invariably,
We deal with being lonely.
Because what is the point?
(point blank range)
What is the sound
(sound off 1,2-1,2-3,4)
How can you believe that
FEAR
That
HATE
That
SECRETS and SILENCE
Are anything but
Acceptable?
But
NORMAL?
But define normal.
That word that mommy and
Daddy
Say to you,
EVERYDAY.
What the hell is this…
This normalcy,
This absolution that parents
Resort to using as an excuse.
That they resolve
All of your problems in,
In their,
Narrow, encapsulated minds,
EVERYDAY.
It’s really just an excuse for why they…
Hate-- or
Fear-- that…
That brand new… change.
Has seemingly brought to them,
Brought against them.
The fear that you could be growing up,
Growing out,
And away from all of their…
Ideologies,
Principles,
Paltry rules.
They are just mom and dad.
They are just mom and dad.
