I can't sleep Because the voice in my head keeps waking me up. I can't think Because memories play far too loudly. I can't talk Because people judge too quickly. I can't cry Because I have no strength left. All that's left to do is to be silent; Let people misunderstand you Let them think you are who they want you to be Not who you really are.

I can't sleep Because the voice in my head keeps waking me up. I can't think Because memories play far too loudly. I can't talk Because people judge too quickly. I can't cry Because I have no strength left. All that's left to do is to be silent; Let people misunderstand you Let them think you are who they want you to be Not who you really are.
Silence doesn't mean you don't have an opinion. It just means that you are strong enough to support your beliefs on your own.
