There was a time in my life where i knew nothing but silenceAlone in my heart and mind In search of something that will bring me out of my shyness Walking down this road I see another soul Who i thought would bring my heart from the cold But Lor
If you care to look behind my eyes
What you will find is one who’s wise
Thoughts, words, actions that mesmerize
Anxious as doom arises, I am done
Searching eyes hone in on mine, looking dead
But there is no escape as change has won
With its angry, hungry jaws, it is fed
Initially, I was but a mouse squeak
They say it’s too late
Why didn’t you speak out sooner?
Well sometimes it takes a while to realize our truths
And when they finally come into clarity
They choke us up
