The Weight Inside

I've been given a burden, one I must keep forever within me.
Heavier than the knowledge of all my life so far.
Heavier than all of my gravest sins as one.

The burden sets me apart from the world.
The burden makes me as one with another.
Silence will be my way of honoring this confidence.

My silence is sacred; boon of my word.
Silence is not inaction; not peace;
Not absence of reaction.

I must act lest I rot from within.
I must inflict the full weight of my anger
Upon those deserving.
