Let me

 

Let me enter.

Let me set the scene.

Let me tell the story

You wrote on the back of me.

Let me show the knife

You did not dare plunge in my chest.

Let me ask you to explain

Where you put my body to rest.

Let me present my scars

And my tales of truth.

Let me do all those things

You did not dare to do.

Let me take the tape off

You have put on my mouth.

When you told me to be silent,

Every time you thought me too loud.

Let me do all of that 

Before you present me to them,

So they know you have tried

To write me into an end.
