That feeling that quietly takes ahold, when you know you are no longer heard;
The voice that whispers, “don’t be so bold,” so you tip toe just like a bird.
You feel the disdain and furrow of their brow, for it is clear in their tone, and voice;
So your shoulders cave, and you lose a piece of your soul; you forget that you have a better choice.
So you choose to be silent, fill minutes with tears, instead of trying to explain;
The woman that you worked so hard to build; now is the girl who holds the pain.
The little girl that only wanted to please, to be held, protected, and loved;
Now has to learn to scream; raise her voice to be heard… she must learn to fight and be tough.
But these things don’t really align with her soul, the tender most nourished parts;
Silence and tears should be enough to soften even the hardest and darkest of hearts.
But they don’t and she finds that the only way is to harden like those who hurt;
So she abandons herself in silence; as the tears leak onto her shirt.
