Silent Song

I've learned to adapt

To ignore what I feel

To make myself infinitely small

Until I no longer know what's

real

I've learned to be there for

others

That is a strength in itself

I've become so good at it

That I have lost myself

This is my silent song

This is my silent plea

I lost myself along the way

When is there room

for me?

I gave myself

I gave myself

I gave myself completely

In taking care of others

I lost

every part of me

This is my silent song

This is my silent plea

I lost myself along the way

When is there room for me?

It grew quiet around me

It grew quiet inside

It's not the silence that I

fear

It's not the feelings I hide

It's the fear of overload

Until

I

disappear
