Beyond the Anxious Mind

hidden deep in our 
shadows are words 
we don't want to 
say these words 
become the terror 
our little ones 
can't escape for 
they are faced with 
demons who will 
rape their little 
bodies but only 
guilt will stay in 
their faces for 
crimes they didn't 
commit and tears 
they didn't vomit 
for they were used 
in a horrible play 
by monsters they 
could not slay 
because of words we 
did not say
