Getting through
Trust is a very difficult
thing to receive
But it is even harder
when you've been decieved
Silence just seems to be
the easiest option
And just let people
give you a caption
Many people go through
the struggle to stay
When all others do
is play
Being sad but having
to hide
It's difficult to always
keep it inside
The breakdown is endless
with the tears that roll
They don't stop digging
an even bigger hole
Paralyzed with the silence
but always showing kindness
Being beaten to the ground
always trying to drown the sound
Can only take it one more time
before its not worth it
But having to stay strong for faces
who are blinded by it
Others can't understand
because they can't see
You keep it inside to keep them
blinded from what you could be
Scared and trembling at the
anxiety to please
You need to wake up before it becomes
something that takes you over like a disease
Breathing but still suffocating
Being crushed but still breathing
My eyes are covered
to be blinded
Being taught not
to see what mattered
Been put on a leash
to only be able to go so far
Being held back to not see
the potential to set the bar
Screaming so loud to
be heard but being ignored.
