The silent one

We sit there at the games

listening to all the hassles

even stand up for others

 never standing for ourselves

 going around in our heads

How we have terror to return to

 our homes not homes of warmth

 but danger for us

 we watch everyone else

 are they living like us

 is it true none will believe

 some of us say nothing at all

 while others talk louder

 maybe hoping to cover the disgrace

 Of not see us for who we are

 keeping the secrets of what we are living in

 a war  where we don't defend

who we are

 listening to how we should feel

 what it is we are

 then when we are not looking

out of nowhere

 here it comes brace yourself

 the darkness is coming

 and if you keep your eyes close

you won't have to think of what

it is you're allowing to happen

 all in the name of love

  the right to be look at as honorable

  do it for the kids sakes

 they need not know

what mommy going through

 besides it n0t their fault

if you leave what will happen

no stay silent don't tell anyone

what he has done now

 or even tell them what he says

 who knows maybe he will stop

 maybe you will stop living

 then everything will be right with society

 when you do break away

 no one wants to hear from you

 stay silent

 they don't want to hear from you

 what is wrong with you

 why would you leave such a great person

 when you tell them they get quiet

just stay away 

say when are you going to get over it

 like a scar on your soul is

Not something that just goes away

 then they ask

you mean you still not together

 did they hear me

 or did I imagine I told them of the hell

of the nights where I just cry quietly

 how I had no right to feel

any of these emotions

 this was what he wanted it didn't matter

 how I felt or what I wanted

 only his needs

and besides this was the way of the world

The way of the world

the way of the world

Just keep silent and maybe they won't know

or will ever have to know

 the horrors of tearing down of one's spirit

 and if you do tell them

 they will soon forget

the way of the world will continue  

 cause others such pain

Just stay silent about this one thing

 it is not a big deal really

 maybe you two will be able to pretend

it never happen

all your fault for everything

 then you will let them back in

Causing all the healing to cease

 the process of destroying your spirit

and tearing you down to continue

However that will never happen

 they may silence us

 they may push us to  never revealed the pain

 we will never forget the pain

 the thoughts or feelings of not being

worth the same as everyone else

may be silence

won't ever go back to that

found the sunshine

found the truth

found the light

know we are strong

 we are the beautiful creatures

the ones giving love and understanding

the precious treasures we always knew we were
