"We dare you to say a word",
"Your world will come crushing down on you"
So they said,
Harsh and scary as they sounded,
In pain as I was,

My mouth was shut,
By choice?
Not even,
Fear,
Confusion,
Pain,
My mouth was shut!

My heart beating faster than it has ever,
With pain and sadness written all over my face,
Who will believe me?
What will they say,
Questions after questions,

All felt closing up on me,
That's hard it was,
Nightmares after nightmares,
Will I ever heal?
Never!

With each day comes a reminder,
With each minute comes a flashback,
With each second comes a thought,
Of how I was hurt by the people I never imagined to,
If only I was shown my mistake,
I would have apologised,
Who did I offend?
