Silent Lady Strange

I don't know your story Silent lady strange When I look into your amber eyes All your fears are exposed Innocent in all things As pure as white snow To the world you are perfect To yourself you are a joke You have your own thoughts Intellectual in your mind Afraid to speak any thought For your family you will shame For women are meant to be seen Never to be heard Like a priceless porcelain vase Sitting prized upon a shelf You pretend everyday While keeping to yourself Silently screaming inside On your words you choke One day silent lady strange Your thoughts will turn to words Millions they will flock to you To them you will mean the world
