Hush

My heart hurts because they will never know. They will never know the truth.

All I want to do is talk, but they only perceive it as me trying to argue, trying to fight.

Hush Scarlett, don’t say a word.

My heart aches because I feel like I’m not being heard. I’m not being seen.

Hush Scarlett, wipe those tears.

I say too much and its interpreted wrong. I don’t say enough and something is off.

Gosh Scarlett, what’s wrong now?

I just want to see them smile, I yearn to hear that laugh, I crave to know they’re in a good place.

Gosh Scarlett, give me some space.

Hush Scarlett, gosh Scarlett, enough Scarlett.

That’s how they make me feel.
