• Standing Silence

    Standing in silence,
    without a sound.
    Remaining aside
    or in the background.
    Not saying a word
    for all of these years.
    To scared to speak up
    because of my fears.
    I knew how you felt
    or thought I did.
    It's hard for me now
    to live what I hid.
    When you didn't know
    I watched on with ease.
    Now that you do
    I'm down on my knees.
    My structure is shaken
    my world had been fried.
    I won't last much longer
    I'm burning inside.
    The thing that I need
    is an answer from you.
    It's all that I want
    to restart anew.
    If you have told me
    and I didn't know.
    Please tell me now
    before I let go.
    Once I am told
    be it yes or no and sit.
    Please just know
    that I can take it.
    I am a fighter
    my spirit is strong.
    despite what you say
    you'll never be wrong.
    I'm sure that your sick
    of this run around.
    I'd rather be silent
    and not make a sound.
