![]() Literary LabyrinthA Poem by Satan's DaughterFeeling introspective about the fragility of human existence A few overly complicated words with a fairly simple meaning I find that the bigger the word The easier it is to hide behind The longer it takes to roll off the tongue The longer I have to steady my voice The more eloquent the language The more cloaked in anonymity my feelings are It’s almost an art form This verbal slight of hand A pretty flash of vowels under your nose keeps you occupied While the pain presses a cold knife to my throat That you will never see Therefore can never address In my experience Words can build the strongest wall between the world outside And the turmoil that lives between your ears My big words build a dam in your ears Confusing your mind Preventing the truth from being heard Because the more I speak The less I say And the less you want to hear © 2015 Satan's DaughterFeatured Review
