Locked away in silence, unspoken emotions, secrets we keep.
Words that we cannot bring ourselves to say,
Echoes of the past, that won’t go away.
Words that catch in the throat,
Emotions hard to express, trapped inside the mind.
Tears that fall without a sound,
Hurt that circles all around.
For the pain that’s never spoken,
Is the pain that can be broken.
So, let the tears fall, let the heart ache,
It’s time we show the anguish we take.
Thoughts that linger, left unsaid,
Hearts in turmoil, filled with dread.
Let us speak the words, let them be heard,
Even if they don’t please the world.
