Frozen
and these are the scars
you'll never see,
that silence carved on me...
and I wonder why I continue
to be paralyzed
choking on the words
unsaid
and what if I could sing
instead of listening
to the screaming
in my head
and I've tried to only hear
the music playing
in a heart that beats
with fear
and when the lyrics
lost their beat
and the rhythm wasn't
loud enough
to save me from the night
wide awake
beneath the black
I gasp for breath
and beg for light
