You took my crush, so small, so frail
And said I’d never speak at all
Let them see me as a freak
To hell with you, to hell with them


I will not speak — but not because I’m forced
Not because I’m trapped inside your cause
I choose this silence — freedom’s breath
Because it breaks your chains, not death


You took all that you could claim
But now I’m free, beyond your game
Not silenced by my fear or pain
But by my will to break your reign


Silence is my quiet throne
Where I am sovereign, stand alone
The universe will take its course
And in its time, repay your force


But unlike you, I won’t behold
The ripping life, the darkness cold


One day I’ll sleep, and in that peace
Find rest where cruelty will cease
