We've all had some bad experiences / memories in life...


The Consequence of Silence...

Incredible pain I have inside
Anguish that I choose to hide
Day-to-day it's hard to bare
For the haunting memories are always there
I long for the freedom, the tranquillity...

Suffering from fearful and sleepless nights
Although I rise to turn on the lights
I cannot wake from this dream
Often in my pillow I would scream
I long to be held, to be comforted...

At my bedside I silently sit and cry
No answer to the question why
As the memories run through my mind
Was I scared or just being kind
I long to forgive, to forget...

Ample time I have at hand
To shut my eyes and listen to a band
Creating a mindshift, a temporarily relief
Strength and endurance, my belief
I long to eliminate the fear, to live my life...
