The Fifth Freedom


(Freedom from Fear and Distress)
 

Your fear; My distress.
You wield your steely knife
To stab at shadows that threaten
But slice through hearts instead
And walk away untouched; unfeeling

Protector; Preserver
But only of yourself.
You patch your cracks with lover’s blood
To keep your shell intact
And step upon the broken; shattered

Teacher; Professor
“Cause no harm or pain.”
Pretentious words that sear the soul, pour
Like acid from your tongue.
And leave behind lives scarred; disfigured

Heal your fear; heal our distress
