Speaking
February 12, 2015
All the people can hear me
Yet I don't speak;
Nobody can hurt me
So silent I'll stay
Longing for the past
Wishing for yesterday
The quiet is killing me
No more havoc my words can wreak
Silence is golden
And gold is overrated
My lips do not move
My words are underrated
All the people can hear me
And yet I do not speak
For what do I need of words
They are for the weak.

It's about feeling alone and feeling unheard even though everyone hears you and sees you. The thing is no matter how quiet you stay, you're going to influence people, people aren't going to be happy with you at all times. Quiet hurts, but the quiet is how things manage to get done.
