Feelings silenced
No words to say
No explanations
Have come my way
Inside I’m broken
Feel I can't be fixed
Confused emotions
And thoughts are mixed
I feel dishonest
But I know the truth
I do not show it
Where is the proof
The sound of silence
Is echoing
Inside a menace
Resurfacing
I hate these demons
Please go away
Give me a chance
To have my say
Do not control me
You do not own
My mind is mine
And mine alone
You won’t recognise me
But then who can
Inside I’ve hidden
A different man
He cries in silence
He’s all alone
He’s trying hard
To find his home
So play sweet music
Give him a chance
To bring him out
So we can dance
Dance in the open
And find his way
Give him the courage
And words to say
To say ‘this is me'
No more secrets to keep
At long last to find
His inner peace
