A Poem

 Silenced

Black and white
Blood that stains
Eyes that linger 
Bones that break

. . .
Welcome to the palace
Welcome to the games 
Welcome to the fatal rounds
No one hears us say

. . .

"Leave before the games begin!"
"Darkness festers beneath the skin."
"Watch your back and don't dare to breathe..."
"Shadows follow where you lead."

. . .
They call us royal
Queens and kings
We call ourselves the silenced
The ones no one can see. 

 . . . . .
