We Break The Oath
when the oath breaks
all will be told
as we reach past
the lies we were told
nobody asked us
what we know
without a word
we carried on
kept to our selves
guarded the oath
a secret badge
heads pointed down
to avoid the suspicion
eyes away and fidget
do not expose this oath
hold these moments dear
it is our little game
you may feel better
you might even like it
you did let it happen
a day will come though
the hate will grab you
tear out your guts
then call you a coward
that victim is the reason
to shatter the delusion
a survivor in bloom
no longer held in seclusion
a fist joined against the oath
to bring it down in ruin
