Silenced by selfish voices
A crowd I tend to get trapped with
How is it that I am quieted in a time where I want to be loud?
My voice has withered away
Why did I turn out this way?
I am a puppet and everyone can hang me up on silver strings made of my hair
I watch as everyone jokes at me
I actually scream for help
But everyone is deaf and blind
I do not need cuts to let you know I'm not alright.
Tears do not need to form for you to know I'm suffering.
Intoxicated by your own vicious smiles
I've suffered and walked for miles
And you let me bleed in the blistering sun
And you go head, drink your water
My lips are not chapped and I am not fading
My skin is not shedding in flakes,
Withered away in acid rain
I tell you what I feel
And you continue to believe I'm fine
I'm going to bury myself in self depreciation
And watch you get all the attention
If I try to say I'm proud of something,
You step on my dreams,
How am I supposed to grow as a weeping willow tree
When everyone keeps kicking my dirt away from me?
Only notion to me when it is relevant to you,
I will still sit and thirst for you
