In Silence


She's suffering silently

Keeping her emotions under lock and key

She makes sure no one ever sees her pain

She makes everyone think her demons have been slain

That they are out of her brain

But they aren’t gone as quickly as they came

She's always fighting the emotions they're inciting

She has a mantra she's reciting

To combat the words that sound so inviting

Ones like “you should try dying”

She tries to get past what they are implying

They leave her crying

But no one will ever see

Because she deals with it silently
