SILENCE
SOMETIMES I NEED SILENCE:
WHEN LIFE IS HITTING ME HARD, AND IM FEELING STRESSED AND TENSE:
I CANT WRITE:
WHEN WITHIN ME I JUST DONT FEEL RIGHT:
OFTEN I LIE AWAKE IN THE MUDDLE OF THE NIGHT:
WHEN WITHIN ME SOMETHING IS UNSETTLED AND JUST NOT RIGHT:
I COULD VERY EASILY SAY TO ANOTHER WHAT I FEEL INSIDE:
MY FEELINGS OF HURT, FRUSTRATION, FEELINGS OF BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED, I DONT HAVE TO SUCK IT UP AND HIDE:
BUT I CONCEAL, MY FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS TO MYSELF:
ANDI KNOW THAT MY SILENCE IS MY STRENGTH AND WEALTH:
OTHERS CLOSE TO ME WHO HAVE LET ME DOWN:
DONT EVEN REALIZE HOW THEY CAUSED ME TO DEEPLY, SADLY FROWN:
SO NOW IN THE MORNING WHEN IM UP, AND BEGINNING A BRAND NEW DAY:
IM PRAYING TO GOD, TO CALM ME, LET ME HOLD MY SILENCE, AND BE GUARDED EXACTLY WHAT I SAY:
I KNOW MYSELF, AND IT DONT TAKE MUCH TO FIGURE ME OUT, SOMETIMES I SPEAK TOO LOUDLY , TOO CLEARLY AND OPENLY,AND WILL IN A HEARTBEAT, GIVE AWAY ALL THAT I OWN:
THOSE WHO KNOW ME, KNOW ME, THAT I DONT CARE IF I HAVE NOTHING FOR MY OWN:
SO I HOLD ONTO MY SILENCE, HERE THIS BRAND NEW DAY:
AND HUMBLY PRAY TO GOD TO GUIDE MY WAY:
MY HAPPINESS AND JOY, IS TO GIVE ALL AWAY THAT I HAVE, AND SHOW MY KINDNESS OF HEART:
BUT WHEN I FEEL USED, NOT APPRECIATED, AND TAKEN FOR GRANTED, IT PIERCES MY HEART LIKE A POISONOUS DART:
SO NOW, THIS MORNING, SILENCE TO MYSELF, AND WITH GOD, MY FATHER IS WHAT I MUST HOLD ONTO AND KEEP:
WHILE THIS HURT, HAS PENETRATED MY HEART DEEP, MAKING MEHAVE SILENCE, AND I DONT EVEN WANT A WORD TO SPEAK:
