A thousand words
A thousand words can mean a thousand things
A thousand thought can make a human being
A thousand words locked in my head
A thousand drops of blood down my hand
A thousand people in a room
A thousand things to fight
A thousand battles every night
Im drowning in this silence between to broke hearts
A thousand words never said
Is killing a little girl
While she’s laying in bed
Tears down here face
Momma gone
Daddy walked out before she was born
A thousand things can never make up for her pain
This teenager has barely lived til today
Because she’s bottled away
And pushed away
And she’s talking to you today
And here is what she has got to say::
Thanks father, for being the father I never once knew
