The Cause
The silence on these pages is enough to break my heart.
The lack of words is all so wrong, I tear them all apart
And scream because expression is just another thing I've lost.
I have no words to tell the tale of all these lines I've crossed.
I'm sorry for the way I am, but I have no way to change.
A cycle of affliction just to verbalize my pain.
Press hard to stop the bleeding, then I'll throw away the gauze,
But not until you hear my voice and understand my cause.
