Silent Screaming

I try to scream for help but when I open my mouth nothing comes through

I ask you for help but you don't know what to do

Inside myself I'm tearing apart

I scream the loudest from the depths of my heart

But nobody sees me because it's not my nature it's not me

I scream for attention but no one hears me how can that be

I stop for a moment and cry and wail out loud

This time just this once I can't act proud

I hate who I've become and who I am going to be

I hate who I am because it's not really me

I try to break out of this shell to push through to the other side

Oh  when will I find confidence in pride.

This can't be happening they think she's so and so's daughter

More and more that phrase has become such a bother

When will they see me and cut me some slack

Sometimes I just want to leave this town and never come back.

I try to scream for help but when I open my mouth nothing comes through

I ask you for help but you don't know what to do

Inside myself I'm tearing apart

I scream the loudest from the depths of my heart
