Truth inside of Silence

By Silence

Your a liar
Calling yourself that...
When you shout out
In hopes to catch one glimpse of notice

To be something different
Something besides the last thought

You lie calling yourself this name
When you scream at the top of your lungs
It just feels like silence
When not even a flinch comes to a face

Even as you feel your soul pouring into words
It never seems enough
Never enough to take the pain

The pain that is real
And the pain you created

Always trying to understand
Always being selfish
Always wanting to be modest
Never able to stop trying to show people your worth something
When you feel worthless everyday

So quit lieing
Stop hurting yourself
Stop crying those empty tears

Everyone can see how fake you are
The hollowness spotted so easily
You lie to yourself thinking you have any strength at all

You feel so much and yet so little
You dont deserve anyone around you
Because you feel more pity for yourself than love for anyone

Fear is all thats left
Your afraid your castle of illusions will shatter
And they will see the fragile little thing you really are
Not even strong enough to take a step from the worn path
