Words Left Unspoken

Every single day is filled

with mostly the absence,

Of all of the words

That you cry at night

And I can't help but wonder

Just what would happen

If you were to let them

Out into the light.

Start telling the world

Of the lyrics to songs

That you have never sung

And all of the stories

That you have kept trapped

Since you first learned

How to bite your own tongue.

So let's speak of the words

we have ever left unspoken

Out of fear that we

Could possibly be wrong

And raise your own voice

So people can hear you

Because you have been

Silent for far too long.

The world appears

to be so very broken

Although it has made You cry

I want you to know

T hat hope is never lost

But I think that it is time

That the only one who can change anything

Is nobody but YOU!
