Orphan

If nobody saw me 
I could be brave enough
If everybody just cared enough
Maybe we would all be strong enough.
We would be strong enough to say what we really have to say
That maybe the words can push to make it past your teeth 
Just enough to speak up
Just so they could hear our story
We have been silenced 
We have been living in fear
Our heads full of noise 

Whoever asked our opinion??
If u did!!!!
We spoke out of fear.

In favour of those who sit among us just waiting for a miss step
So they can carry our heads around on a platter and so that they can rip our souls our for a spilt second.
Just so we know we are not uncontrolle of our own emotions of our own thoughts
Remind us that we have sold our souls to the 

I sit on the bathroom floor I spent one hour trying to get my eyes wet
I just wanted one tear

One tear so I can know know I am still alive or am I just drayed up inside
