In the darkness the voices are so loud
They clamor to be heard, there are so many of them
They shout over each other, saying such contradictory things
Hurtful, shameful things
Please let them stop
I don't want to hear them

I open my eyes to the light
There is no one around
I am alone in my pain and grief and confusion
Where did everyone go?
So many voices, but no one to listen to mine

I cry from the loneliness, my eyes close around my pain
And it starts all over again
