At One Point You Flew.

You have to keep quiet.
You can't say a word.
Always show respect.
You'll never be heard.

Your opinions don't matter.
You follow their lead.
You look fine on the outside.
But inside you bleed.

You can't control your future.
You didn't control your past.
They control your everything.
Any of your thoughts are last.

You have to be perfect.
Can't get one B.
Nobody ever hears
Your tortures, silent plea.

You want to scream out,
You want someone to hear.
Your silent cries pass them.
They never see all your tears.

You want to fly up high.
And not be scared to fall.
But instead you stay on the ground.
Struggling just to crawl.

Try as you might,
Your dreams won't come true.
So keep on dreaming, sweetie.
Cause then at one point you flew.
