The voices of the past
Are drowned by the sound of rock and roll
She turns up the volume
Just to find some escape
Wondering if things will ever go back to normal
The leaves are falling to the ground
Hinting at the changing of seasons
This used to be a time where she would be outside
But know things have changes she'd rather stay alone
And avoid those angry confrontations
That are going on underneath her bedroom
*Crash*
Something breaks
She's willing to bet it's another dish
But isn't curious enough to investigate
She is silent but troubled
She knows things have changed
And maybe not for the better

I don't want my voice drowned in the crowd
I want to swim against the currents
In the rough and stormy waters
No holding back
Just me in a place
To speak my mind
To be able to do what I want with my life
To become me in every aspect
I have cried
But there's no shame in tears
I have laughed
And enjoyed the good times
I've sufferd we all have and all will
At some point and time
Some say one day I'll have a family
But after seeing my family
And pay attention to each of their individual stories
I honestly can say I'd be fine alone
So where does that leave me pray tell
I look to the stars for some hidden sign
They are silent
But I wonder if there light is calling me to some other place
Am I only to live to just die later
I see no purpose
This body is my prison
These words are my shackles
I can't imagine how others must feel
But this is me
This is real
It won't go away
