Silent Song


Silent Song

 

They dont want to hear

The pain i deal with here

My voice goes unheard

So heres my song my dear

 

Scars so deep 

Of a broken heart no one can replace

They tell me how great of a person I am

But in reality

they dont give a damn

 

They tell me im loved

They tell me they can help

But what they didn’t tell me is

Im forever left to myself

 

I cant even share this song

Share my voice to the world

Of the struggles i have been through

Of being in the darkness

For so long

 

This is my silent song

The words you dont care to hear

Of a broken girl inside 

And of those who never cared 

Being labeled as a loser

Because i struggle so

But this silent song i have

Gets me through the storm

 

Im the only one who knows it

Im the only one who fights through it

The hateful words you spit at me

Thats the shit that hurts the most

you see

 

This silent song is all i have

To express the anger i feel

Towards those who look down upon me

And treat me as they do

Allowing me to fall

I dont belong here

At all

 

Im still here

I aint’t going nowhere

You dont want to hear this shit

Then cover your damn ears

My voice may not get heard

And i dont really care

Because I know the truth

So love me if you dare
