VEXED - We don't talk about it

We don't talk about it
Suppress it, forget it,
If I speak up I'll regret it.
But I need an outlet
I'll just be poetic
Won't say too much I promise.
No monsters hiding underneath
My bed but instead I kept a knife
Barricading doors and windows
Cos they're coming for your life
Fearing for the worst hearing
Any noise in the dead of night
Better lock my bedroom door
So the big bad boogeyman
Don't bite.
Starve myself close to death
Just to feel some love
Beaten by the people that we
Were supposed to trust
Head out into the world with a
Mouth kept shut
Promise I won't say what happened
Or they'll kill all of us
I apologise I think I've said too much
I'm so sorry I
Could not keep my mouth shut
Please just try and see
This from my point of view
This is all I have to vent out the abuse
Cos we don't talk about it
We don't talk about it
Suppress it
Forget it
If I speak up I'll regret it
But I need an outlet
I'll just be poetic
Won't say too much I promise
I'll try to convince you everything
Is fine but behind closed doors
We just witnessed and got between
Another physical assault
Grabbed by the throat
Lifted up and help against the wall
Spat on and laughed at and told
I'm worth nothing at all
Walking for miles and miles in the
Pouring rain
Just to make sure that the bastard
Returns her home safe
Broken bones
Hearts attacks
Sirens and cuffs.
Give the authorities all the proof
They need but there's consequence.
I apologise I think I've said too much
I'm so sorry I could not keep my
Mouth shut
Please just try and see
This from my point of view
This is all I have
To vent out the abuse
But we don't talk about it.
I'm so sorry for talking about
The haunting memories of childhood
But I need a space to get it off my
Chest cos the weight is suffocating
And I can't keep on fighting
For breath
I apologise I think I've said too much
I'm so sorry I could not
Keep my mouth shut
Please just try and see
This from my point of view
This is all I have
To vent out the abuse
Cos we don't talk about it.
