Clenched jaw of pain;
opening impossible-
to speak the words of angst,
and the spirits truth.
I forfeit myself to the power with
a wired jaw of secrecy;
to speak all but lies.
They silence me with straps
and poison me-
to become another mindless drone.
Broken teeth of freedom;
in a country where speaking is crime:
I stand tall;
I am silenced;
I stand again;
I am quieted...
permanently.

Dragon tears
Your tears are much too valuable,
to be spilled over me;
I have suffered 'til the world's end,
there is much you haven't seen.
It's something I can't handle,
to see you shed a tear;
I have come to live the life I have,
and do so without fear.
Please be strong with me my love,
I have no shame for why-
I live emotionless through the day,
but I ask you not to cry.
It breaks my heart to hear your sobs,
and see the tears you bleed.
I ask you dear out of pain,
please don't cry for me.
