Never Spoke

They never spoke of the terrors of being a teenager they never spoke of the late nights we'd waste studying they never spoke of the stress we'd be under they never spoke of the thoughts circling through our heads they never spoke of the calls for help we'd send but never received any help they never spoke of the voices in the back of our heads telling us horrible things repeating the same sentence "If you fail, you're nothing." we carry it in our chest it holds us down what's to bring us back up when we have nothing nothing but a paper and pen we write, we write like our lives depend on it we write our stories, our thoughts we share it with the world until one person makes it all come crashing down they never spoke of the demons that would haunt us forever
