Internally I'm screaming
CryingExternally I'm silent
For the exception of one personI beg to be heard
But afraidDon't want to be taken away
I have to keep her safeIf they knew what was going on
What would have happened?Staying silent
Created so many what ifs

Internally I'm screaming
CryingExternally I'm silent
