steadfast&silent

From the depth of my soul

From the wounds of my heart

I shall walk around with this Pain

that is tearing me apart.

From my torn and tattered body___

I will one day rise up and w/ my revenge I will succeed..

I will not give in----

I will not show mercy----

No matter how much I bleed......

My body is gettin' weak...

It's a waste of time to speak...

Silence is my weapon--

I just stand there and take it.....

No matter what they say I will struggle to make it ..

I will show no anger

If I have to, I'll fake it..

I will not let them hear me scream

That's just what their waiting for

I will close my eyes and dream--

of a World where I can smile more......

I know I can't win ..

I will lay down my Mask now

I don't need to wear it anymore

I will not win this battle

I already know the Final score..

I stood there for years

And watched people walk on by

Steadfast and silent

Just lookin' for some compassion

In a world that is so violent..........
