untitled two
Quiet achiever, silent mover and thinker,
Who do you think of when you're alone?
How does it feel not to voice your opinion;
To trust no one; experience confidence sporadically?
When they've torn you down and scavenged
At your fragile spirit, who inspires you to
Keep on living- to stand against the enemy?
Why have they stolen your laughter, your trust and
Your voice to allow you an ignorant world?
You can't see the carers;
You give to the takers;
You doubt the lovers;
Fear the haters;
You cannot be the speaker.
