Speak
It hurts deep down at the core.
Not even silence dulls my pain.
I want to speak,
But do I have the words?
I've stood here in the cold
For years on end;
Waiting in silence for someone to come
And listen to my heart.
Why can't anyone hear my cries?
Why am I still alone
In this cruel, cruel world
Which crushes my soul each day?
I try to find love.
I try to find hope.
I try to find courage.
I try to find the will to live.
Still waiting here within the silence.
Lost, searching for a little light.
Can someone please find me
And save me from the dark?
Please, get me out of here
Before this evil swallows me whole.
I want to be saved,
But can I find the will
To speak?
