You speak You yell You slam These are the things I remember The times of fear The trembling of my hands The streams of tears These are the things I remember The times of hatred The fire burning Yet I hid it In fear You slam Remember? That's what I remember Do you remember? I don't believe you The hugs you gave That drove me insane You said it was fine You never asked me You asked yourself Is it okay? Yes That's not what I said Tears I hope I left a stain I recall all that The times when you raised the hand I don't recall if I felt it The time I stared at the number on the screen Debating I took to long The door opened and you were there I never made that call That day is when my Fear burned bright My instincts told me to run I was frozen Had I run What would you have done? Raised your voice or your hand Or something else I hope I'll never know I want to know Are my fears justified I can only know if I break out of my silence Silence that screams Run Leave Forget Forgetting is what I've done so far Repress Suppress Forget the times I forget the times that would lessen my fear Do those times even exist I don't know I don't care I have to break free A cage I've built for protection You used it against me To keep me where you want me Vulnerable Silence is screaming All the times I curled up Fear Hurt Pain I don't want to feel that way Yet here I am Silent Staying put in fear I can't speak Tongue tied Screaming Inside Caught up in my own words That you will never hear Shut up I don't care ... Silence

Loud Silence
