Maybe it’s just a matter of
human nature
but I want to scream
my revelation
sometimes
courage is fighting
for a way
out
& if this is the only way I know how
if this is the only way
I know words carry weight &
though they can be torched
they’re immortal
Maybe these silver plumes
are all I can spare you
[on offer]
like summoning the spirit of Cassandra
like you,
I yearn to change the world
& Your reality fuels my tank
& I would never spite that gift
I would never
Betray|Capture/hold it hostage
Instead call me riotous
I think there’s always civil unrest
where there’s silence
So here lies my promise
Exhume the corpse of your sadness
This world feels on a regular basis
I will thread the needle through
Take my hand ___ we leap
Just hold the line with me
Hold the line

Insightful and layered…👏👏👏👌👌👌👌
My prognosis :
a. The inner voice wants to break-free and reveal the revelations; suppressed emotion, hidden trues, prompt observations etc.
b. Wants to send a message “Quiet is not peace!”
c. The revelations may be hurtful for both the sender and the receiver, but it’s essential for “the truth to have it’s day”.
d. The reference to “Cassandra” is interesting.
“Cassandra” was blessed by Apollo by the gift of foretelling the true future, on the condition that she would submit to Apollo (whatever his just or unjust motives!!). But after receiving the gift she went back on her word and Apollo cursed her (as he was not able to revoke the gift), that no one would believe her, even though she is revealing the true future.
It’s the same there, because of our own undoing or just cruel rotten fate or unjust corrupt system, our revelations would fall on unbelieving and deaf ears.
f. Despite everything, the protagonist is a “Rebel with a cause”. Time to yell like Tarzan and swing to freedom. 🙂
Reminds me of this song from Rockstar (2011, Hindi), a must watch and epic music by the legendary A.R Rahman

Your prognosis astounds and thrills me in its clarity. All bullet points hit the target!
I do see the correlation, too, between the song and what I’ve written. Thank you for the introduction!
And of course, for your time in making such a thoughtful comment. 💕
