No Longer Speechless

They told me to hush, Told me to hide, But I swallowed the fire, Let it burn me inside. Kept my voice quiet, Kept my head low, But now the silence Is breaking like bones. They tried to bind me, Tie me in chains, But I’m done with whispers, Done with the shame. I’ve held my tongue, I’ve played their game, But I’m rising now, And I won’t be the same. I’m no longer speechless, Won’t be quiet again, Like a storm breaking loose, I’m shedding my skin. They’ll hear my roar, They’ll know my name, The girl who stood silent Is burning in flames. No more hiding, No more fear, I’m stepping out loud, I’m making it clear. I won’t be speechless, Won’t be unseen, This voice they buried Is finally free. They tried to silence The fire in me, But every spark, Now fuels my scream. It’s thunder rolling, It’s wild and raw, A voice reborn From every scar. They thought they’d break me, But I’m breaking through, An echo of silence Now loud and true. I was bound in shadows, Chained to the floor, But I’m rising, I’m rising, And I’ll be quiet no more. No longer speechless, No longer small, I am the wildfire They can’t control. I’ll shatter the silence, I’ll drown out the lies, With every word That they tried to deny. I’m done with shrinking, Done with shame, Done with the silence That kept me tamed. I’m screaming loud, I’m breaking free, This voice they buried Belongs to me. I’ll speak my truth, I’ll light the flame, A girl reborn, No longer the same. I was made to be wild, Made to be heard, I’m finally free, Finally to be heard. I’m no longer speechless, Won’t be hushed again, With fire in my chest, And power within. The silence fades, The echoes die, And I rise, I rise, [build up] With the sky in my eyyyyyyyyyyyyes.
