Silence


I'm tired of feeling this way 

I can't keep pretending I'm alright 

When everything inside is eating me alive 

I'm crying out

My silence says is all 

The scars may fade away 

My happy smiles 

Only hide stories that caused heartache 

But I'm already broken 

There's no fixing to what's already broken 

My silence says it all 

Somtimes it's hard to find your own happiness 

I'm just drowning in my own darkness 

I don't see a light 

That will lead me out 

Can you hear me? 

Listen to my silence 

It speaks more then my words 

Just listen closely 

It's calling out for help 

My silence is screaming 

It may just set me free
