Death waiting

Silent shadows, growin' deep

Feelin' unseen, too much to keep

Learned to hide my pain behind a wall

Words fall hollow, no one calls

Fears etched in the silent screams

Living trapped within my dreams

But deep inside, I’m still alive

Waiting for a chance to survive

Though I hide my tears away

Hope flickers, dim but someday

Shut my mouth, hide my pain

Drowning in the silent rain

Dying slowly from the inside

Quietly I try to survive

Taught that feelings don’t matter here

Carved in my heart, a constant fear

Trauma used as a weapon’s tool

Built a fortress, a cold school

But deep inside, I’m still alive

Waiting for a chance to survive

Though I hide my tears away

Hope flickers, dim but someday

Shut my mouth, hide my pain

Drowning in the silent rain

Dying slowly from the inside

Quietly I try to survive

Can’t break the silence, can’t scream out

Caught in the storm, in my doubt

But a flicker of light still remains

A whisper hopes to break these chains

Waiting to be heard, to be free

One day, I’ll find the key

Until then, I’ll quietly fight

Hold on through the endless night
