speak up

i sat in silence and acted like i didn’t care. i had thoughts in my head like i know that’s not fair. But my mom always said “life isn’t fair” so i sat in silence. it hurt my feelings more than they would ever know, but i was always too quiet to let it show. When i did speak up they would say “Shanee just let it go” So i stayed in silence putting their feelings before mine letting the pain eat me up with time. Over and over again i felt more pain but i had no one to blame I never asked for help i was too ashamed ashamed that in the end they’ll turn around on me to blame So i sat in silence.
