Silence, it could be deceiving.
You think as a child the absence of sound is what we call silence.
But then you learn to hide your feelings.
Learn to use silence better than words.
Play hard to get or just afraid to tell that girl you like.
You work hard but someone else takes the prize.
But you can’t voice because it’s against the laws of power,
and you learn to hide that pain, learning the rules of the game.
You get hurt, broken, damaged but you don’t show; you smile.
Hoping, pushing the tears in the darkest corners of your heart.
But then it’s 3 AM and you miss him, and you learn to cry in silence.
The world doesn’t want to see you sad, it teaches you to cry behind closed doors.
And you learn that silence is all around.
Because no matter what, your heart can’t anymore make a sound.
