Lonely days, long nights
At the very core of her
There were screams
but she suffered in silence.
The screams were loud
At least she thought they were!
They pierced her ears
but she suffered in silence.
She'd heard it all before
So did everyone else!
They kept coming - the insults
and silence was the golden word.
She waited and she waited for change
But change never came
It was the same day in day out
breaking her to her very core.
Something slipped out from here
She heard herself saying "no"
but of course that was not enough
and that word turned to "go".
She still suffers in silence
and the hurting is getting worse
anyone would think this is true
and she was born with a curse.
Yes, that it precisely what it is
a curse, she had just realised.
But she still suffers in silence.
