Given a voice but no use for it We are silenced by those who hear but won’t listen We are silenced with hands over our screaming mouths Silenced by the laughter echoing in our minds And after, we are silenced with fear Silenced by their reputation, silenced by their mothers cries Silenced by paperwork and answering the question “Well, what were you wearing?” So take my voice away, I have no use for it Because saying something is the same as saying Nothing at all
