Silence is golden
People won't suspect a thing
Don't cry, just keep it in and people will keep smiling at you
Don't get hurt
If you do
Don't show it
Because silence makes everything go away
They'll stop
Everything will stop
You won't hear people's voices
You won't even see people's faces
You will just stay silent
All the feelings will fade away
Until the silence is broken
And everything comes pouring out
The surface cracks
A waterfall pours from under your eyes
An earthquake erupts as your body starts to shake
You scream
You cry
You told yourself not to cry
But you couldn't hold it in
You were too quiet
And you burst into flames
You were smoldering paper
But you burst
Silence is not golden
