The silence becomes a tomb
my fists pound on the wood
and my tears soak the padding
I just want to escape
run away from the pain
but you're still there
smirking down at me
you tell me
the things I do
I do for you
I wince when you walk near
I fall asleep at night
dreaming of a better day
like a reel from an old time
movie
I see my life progress
from happy frilly dresses
to Depression and anger
one day you'll know my pain
one day I'll make sure
you understand
I can feel the pressure
the dirt falls down
I know the air is limited
I'll save my strength
Because I can dig a grave
no one will ever find.
