The Freedom of Speech

My soul is crushed and heavy 
Beneath the words I kept within 
Weighed down it’s caged, it’s silent
A dark place of wondering 
If anything could have changed.
Should I have said what's inside? 

In my dreams, I speak them
I say all I wished to
But my nightmares are silent 
Unspoken words drift around 
Maybe everything would change
 if I had the strength to speak 

Would speaking them free me?
Would my soul be easy and light 
Maybe the words will end me
Or I’ll accept my whole past 
And next time I’ll speak freely

But one day my soul will be free.
