[hometext] => I've written these over the past year or so. these are some of my favorites
[bodytext] => Screaming and falling to the ground She holds in every audible sound She doesnt even speak a word She knows it will never be heard. She sits and entertains herself silently Her parents still fighting rather violently She knows better than to draw attention Staying silent is self preservation Silence falls when the darkness rises Pain and betrayal wear many guises. Don't ask me how I am Or inquire about my plan I just need to be left alone To hear the cries that are my own Swallow the pain Evict the tears Release the brain Expel the fears Why do they tell me To always survive When in reality I was never alive What is it about you That makes me think you're true What is it that you do That makes me feel brand new When you touch my hair When I look into your eyes It's like you steal my air It's like I'm hypnotized Tell me what you want from me Tell me what you want to see Tell me what to give to you Tell me what you want to do I speak and no one hears me. I cry and no one sees me. I leave and no one misses me. Do you notice me?? All the memories dancing in my head All of what was never said Take me back to that place So I can undo, not just erase I scream so only you can hear me but you are nowhere to be found. I scream without making a sound.
