The silence remain within
it hurts and it's scary.
The sound of silence is normal,
common to be afraid.

Keep silent because men are
not suppose to speak.
Accept it or be ridiculed
by everlasting torture.

It's supposed to always be
an unknown secret.
That's not to be shared by
others who look like me.

Remember the pointed knife,
remember the bats of violence.
Continue to hear the threats,
remember the physical pain.

Cling to the many times I tried
to tell the story of reality.
Nobody cared to stop by or call
to hear my broken voice.

Nobody cared to understand,
denials were made in silence.
Today I stand broken because
it's all taken as a joke.

Society won't to listen to a
broken voice like mine.
Keep silent they say to me
remember I'm a man.

Many things have gone away,
many moons have passed.
Many nights of broken dreams,
mental scars from a silent lie.
