Until you hear a person’s darkest secret
You only know them in part
Until you find what’s buried in their deepest recess
You have never seen their heart

We put on masks and play pretend –
Lie that we’re fine and don’t disclose
And in the end:
That’s all they’ll ever know

No one knows your desire
Unless you verbalize
They will never see your fire
People don’t read eyes

Bitten-back words
Are born of fear
And silent screams will not be heard
By any ear

Listen – That swallowed tongue
Is your worst enemy
If hearts are not undone
You will never, ever be free
