Let Him Speak!

Just behind your image
Is a boy you've never given a chance,
Yearning to break free,
dreaming to be noticed.

Just locked beneath your mask
Is the boy nobody sees
The boy nobodies had the chance to know
You make him sit, quiet, behaved, hidden.

Just under those sleeves,
Are the scars he drew
Trying to pry loose
Trying to be heard

Just muffled by your conscience
Are screams uproaring deep inside
"Let me be, let me be!"
"Are you ashamed of me?"

Just behind your fear
Is a dream you've always known
Just beneath your lies,
Is a beauty, so obvious

Just under your nose
Is love, so right, so clear
Just muffled by tradition
Is the truth. Screaming loud.
