Drowning In Silence
I am drowning in silence
no one wanting to hear what I have to say
No one asking to know how I spent my day
no laughter finds me
I find no joy to share,
my love is here but he doesn't choose to care
He would want things to be different,
but he doesn't know how
To ease the pain and not let my head in sorrow bow
a life almost totally gone by and people still make me cry
Do they mean to be cruel
I used to deny
But now, I know they do and I wish I could die
I once called "Suicide Hotline" to find a friend
they wait by the phone so your life won't end
I have things to be thankful for, oh, this I don't deny
But the hunger for laughter
makes my soul deeply sigh
I'm drowning in silence
This sad tale has been in movie plots for ages
Sadder for me because I'm locked between these pages
feeling sorry for myself
Who has a better right
wishing to cross from darkness to light
This may be the conclusion but it's not the end
I'm drowning in silence with a love not a friend
