Silence

I put me on a shelf Smile pretty for the pictures Be the perfect polished girl I learned to stay back stay quiet Oh the mask I choose to wear It’s breaking ‘long the edges No I won’t lie to myself any longer I won’t hide in silence now Bear the weight of words unsaid Healing wounds I made myself Find the voice that calls me home Oh the silence is too full of words unsaid Oh the silence drags me down with things unsaid A prison now my chysalis Emerging from the depths Shed the burden of the shame I’ve held against me Breaking bonds that don’t exist I’m beyond its reach now Say goodbye I promise we don’t meet again Oh the silence is too full of words unsaid Oh the silence drags me down with things unsaid screaming silence the wind howls with things unsaid No more silence. No more silence—no more words left unsaid Fill the silence with my words I’ve left unsaid No more silence No more silence
