Even silence can betray you

Conning you into thinking

Little ripples won't become waves

Insisting that "Everything will be alright."

Painting you into a Pollyanna peace-maker

Shrouding your essence

Eclipsing your soul.

About the Creator

Sandra Matos

I write so that people will remember me. I make art for the same reason. I had a mother that I never knew. Who she was, how she smelled, or what she valued. I don't want anyone to wonder who I was.
