Deep, dark secrets she has held on to for many years
She must be careful who she speaks to, as she feels she may be misunderstood
Living in silence is so much easier than showing who you are
Hiding in the dark with her thoughts always seemed best
Knowing no matter what, she will always have emotional scars
Rarely speaking or standing up for herself in life
It was easier to live in silence, no memories brought up from her past
There are always clouds, God, birds, and animals to speak to
They listen with no questions asked
But even with her silence, some can see right through
They can see there is something hidden behind those dark eyes
Silence may soften your voice, but it can harden your soul
Being scared is easier for her, speaking up will never bring blue skies
Maybe it could help her heal, but does she want to get out of here
She likes silence, her quiet place that no one else can be in
Although it holds those deep, dark secrets, it is only for her to visit
Yet darkness can take her to other places, places she never wished she’d been
Silence can always be your friend, just don’t spend too much time alone in the dark
Not everyone wants the best for her, so she must be careful who she talks to
Once her silence has been broken, a sense of relief should be lifted
Deep down, she may always have a pit lurking, but she must try to embrace the new you
Knowing she controls her destiny and her life now
It is hard to get into her head and find the words to speak out
But one day she wants to look back and realize it was the best thing she ever allowed
