Am I allowed to talk? would it be okay if I spoke? Lost for words, I smile as I struggle to express myself Echoes of unspoken words haunt me - a constant reminder of my pain eXpect no whispers from me, only a hesitant sign In my silence, I search for a voice, a way to express my emotions Taking advantage because I'm silent Hold me accountable for suffering in silence You don't hear the screams I swallow Madness lurks around me, waiting to claim me as it's own In my nightmares, maybe I share my feelings A silence I never knew I'd keep
