A Voice For You

I’ve opened many closets

that many refused to see –

Because you choose to store the pains

That you so desperately need to be free

–

And I’ll keep on breaking down walls

That hide every shame and fear

Crying for every moment you didn’t cry

Until you let go of every tear

–

I’ll write the truth you’ll never say

So you’ll see that you’re never alone

Breaking, to rebuild your desolate dreams

Nurturing your silenced heart, where it should have grown

–

I’ll unmask every sheltered feeling

Mistaken for love, rendered a need

I’ll share with you, the dangers of your hunger

Giving real food to the parts that you’d refuse to feed

–

See your reflection in my words

Mark your hurt on the things I’ll share

To help another before their cries are hushed

Or before they lose hope there’s ‘another one’ out there

–

To help you gain a voice is all I want to do

But as long as you’re silenced, I’ll be a voice for you
