trapped and forgotten
Another day, another silent plea The weight I carry, heavy inside me I build my case with careful words and thought For battles no one else has ever fought They see the surface, smooth and calm and deep But never hear the promises I couldn't keep To myself, to peace, to living free From these invisible wars inside of me I try to show them what's within But every single time I start to spin My fragile hopes, like threads, unravel slow How do you explain the things they'll never know? Why does the dam break, before they see the flood? Why must my soul be stripped, laid bare, and understood Only when the tears are streaming, hot and fast? Why must I shatter just to make the moment last? I'm so tired of fighting battles deep inside my head A thousand silent words I've left unsaid They never hear the whisper, only listen for the shout Why do I have to cry, to let the truth come out? They offer comfort, light and brief and kind Don't see the canyon of the weary mind They nod and smile, say "You'll be alright" While I'm just drowning in the endless night They see the effort, the push, the tireless grind But never the exhaustion, the pain left behind A different language, spoken from my core They just don't understand what I'm fighting for I try to show them what's within But every single time I start to spin My fragile hopes, like threads, unravel slow How do you explain the things they'll never know? Why does the dam break, before they see the flood? Why must my soul be stripped, laid bare, and understood Only when the tears are streaming, hot and fast? Why must I shatter just to make the moment last? I'm so tired of fighting battles deep inside my head A thousand silent words I've left unsaid They never hear the whisper, only listen for the shout Why do I have to cry, to let the truth come out? I'm not asking for a trophy, or applause for all this pain Just a moment of connection, through the pouring rain To lower all these shields I've held so tight And simply stand here, in the dimming light But the understanding just won't come, it seems Unless it's painted in the wreckage of my dreams Unless my voice cracks, and my spirit folds The story of my struggle simply won't be told Why does the dam break, before they see the flood? Why must my soul be stripped, laid bare, and understood Only when the tears are streaming, hot and fast? Why must I shatter just to make the moment last? I'm so tired of fighting battles deep inside my head A thousand silent words I've left unsaid They never hear the whisper, only listen for the shout Why do I have to cry, to let the truth come out? So I bottle up the storms, put a smile upon my face And know the battle rages on, in this lonely, weary space Until the dam breaks... again. And the tears they fall... so they can see... me.
