Silence your thoughts, You should be seen, not heard, Two steps behind the man you walk You are not allowed to speak For you are nothing but property And can be easily replaced. False propaganda pints us against one another You are not a sister, You are competition, You are not my mother, You are the crazed woman my father warned me against You are not friend But foe, But what am I to do with these unspoken words Unshared thoughts, Unshed tears, I can recite you my pain But find myself unable to recite my happiness, For who would listen to the babbles of a woman? On the ledge of sanity Borderline insanity, Sinking in the pool called society, She is no longer sure of her name Or of her true purpose. Forgotten Rhymes.

Inside a woman's head.
Silence your thoughts, You should be seen, not heard, Two steps behind the man you walk You are not allowed to speak For you are nothing but property And can be easily replaced. False propaganda pints us against one another You are not a sister, You are competition, You are not my mother, You are the crazed woman my father warned me against You are not friend But foe, But what am I to do with these unspoken words Unshared thoughts, Unshed tears, I can recite you my pain But find myself unable to recite my happiness, For who would listen to the babbles of a woman? On the ledge of sanity Borderline insanity, Sinking in the pool called society, She is no longer sure of her name Or of her true purpose. Forgotten Rhymes.
