Silent Words Part !
On a day in September,
 My dad pulled me aside and asked
 "Are you okay now?"
 Yeah dad, I'm fine, totally fine
 I have another life inside me
 The one I thought I loved hates me
 And I can't tell anyone
 His best friend knows, only one who does
 Mine can't know, they have big mouths
 I want to tell him, he always turns away
 You're never here to help dad
 You don't see me cry at night
 I just want to die
 I don't want this life, either one
 Why should I keep it? Them?
 So it'll turn out like me?
 Having one parents and a screwed up life?
 All of this goes through my head
 Though all I can say is
 "Yeah dad, I'm great"
 Smiling like I mean it
 While inside of me
 A life is slowly growing
 And my heart cracks
 Another piece breaking off
