Laid Bare

In silence,
wait forgotten, the victories
in a maze of confusion
enemies emerge
once called friend
or family
now steeped in hatred
for what you are,
who you are
denial is their game
no longer
they breed intolerance
with each breath
seeking security
in familiar words of pain,
their clamoring symphony
striking blows to the soul
laid bare for their regard
