Silent Whispers
Your words were spoken softly in my ears
i tried not to listen, but to block them out for years.
you used to always tell me that it would be all right
but that feeling of uneasiness kept me up all night
i told you to stop, but you went right ahead
told me to keep quiet and jumped in my bed.
i was small and fragile, but that did not stop you
you just did what you wanted and smiled when you were through
i am not the same person i used to be
i have learned that it is not so bad being me
if it werent for you i would not be this way
but i am happy with the person i am today
i can stand up for myself and believe in what is right
i have learned to be proud and i have learned to fight
i will no longer let thoughts of you linger in my head
because i know it will all come back to you when you are dead.
