Witness

I witnessed something terrible today
All of my fears are no longer at bay
They wash over me with a terrifying scream
I cannot wake up, this is no dream

What can I do? I cannot say
The man took my voice away,
I cannot show my source of pain
It lingers like a downpour of rain
Can I keep it inside? Can I keep it at bay?
I do not know, I cannot say.

I hide my scars, behind my hair
Behind my clothes, keep away the air
Now he wants me to be the heir
I don't know what to do.
