HUSH

Isn’t it too loud?

Aren’t their voices domineering?

So much that you can’t even hear

Your own mind’s reasoning.

Haven't they lingered too long?

Living in the shadows of

This attic, locked up where

no sunshine, nor harsh winds

Have aided my growth.

But hush

Feel the breeze. Something

Is changing.

Hush, little girl.

The man of the house will defend you now.

Hush, little girl

Be strong. He’s quieting

All voices, chasing away

the darkness.

Hush, little girl.

Come out of your hiding

And see, finally see

How much you’ve already grown.

Hush now. Don’t be afraid.

Stand your ground.

The man of the house will defend you now.
