What If I Said...

Long ago I made the choice
To forever lock away my voice
Trapped within this maze of my own making
Building walls to block the sun
Waiting for my chance to run
Before I make a mistake and lose it all

But what if I said
What if you heard
And what if I told you every single word
Would you turn away
Would you run and hide
Or would you stay here by my side
And even now
When I can't speak
And all the silence has left me weak
Will you hold my hand
Will you hug me tight
And remind me everything
Will be alright

Long ago I told myself
That I was safe inside this cell
In the quiet where no one else could hear me
But silence is a lonely road
And loneliness, a heavy load
And these questions just keep weighing on my mind

What if I said
What if you heard
And what if I told you every single word
Would you turn away
Would you run and hide
Or would you stay here by my side
And even now
When I can't speak
And all the silence has left me weak
Will you hold my hand
WIll you hug me tight
And remind me everything
Will be alright

Now I've got no where left to turn
On this dead end road
Trapped in this voiceless world
All alone

So what if I said
What if you heard
And what if I told you every single word
Would you turn away
Would you run and hide
Or would you stay here by my side
And even now
When I can't speak
And all the silence has left me weak
Will you hold my hand
Will you hug me tight
And remind me everything
Will be alright

let me know what you think

    Awesome Lyics!

    Too bad I can't hear the melody. So long time no see huh? I like how flowing the poem is. Nothing ever seemed forced or over wordy, and the occasional rhymes added a little spice.

    It really works as a great piece. The "chorus" part of it was a great thing to come back to and end with. I think a lot of people feel this way and just want someone to whom they can talk to without being judged. It's a powerful piece to me because of the fact that I can relate to it as well. Great job!

    Very inteesting poem, nice job of using a question format to it. Sounds like a poem to a person ou love or a very good friend asking if they will be there thru your faults, also will they help and support you. Just my take but I did like it.
