You feel like you would rather die than speak your mind
But you will die if you keep it all inside
The words are trying to claw their way out of your throat
But you won’t say them
You can’t ever say them
Not when you are down
Or in your last dying breaths
You can’t say them
And it kills the people around you
For them to see you silence yourself
They feel as though their voices muffle you
That their own voices will block out your whispers
Your silent cries for help
So they don’t talk
They silence themselves
They look for the words you refuse to say
Soon the whole world will be silent
A world of reluctant mutes
A loud vivid world made silent
Because no one would raise their voice
No one would speak up
Thus we enter a new silent world
A world ruled by fear and low self esteem.
