If I could say
Just what I feel
I'd survive on pure disdain
I can't just say
how I am
or how I try to survive
I want to scream
I want to cry
But nothing will come out
The tear well is dry
unable to make a sound
just stare at my feet
and take the beating
that my father is throwing down
It hurts like hell
the pain inside
from not saying what I feel
The pain outside is just too real
It will not go away
Help me heal
help me cry
this pain that is inside
I need to get
away from the world
If I could
I would
But I can't run away
cry or scream
It just will not come out
