Bound By Silence

My Tapes speak for me

I no longer have a voice

My heart no longer beats

My soul now wanders restless

Taken for granted and cast down by my peers

Being teased and unable to face my fears

Bound by rumors

No longer happy and free

I search for peace

And someone to speak for me

All I ever wanted was love and understanding

Not trying to be facetious or demanding

Hear my words and see whats really to me

Release my undying words and set me free
