Silence or Words

I should have changed
In time when told
Feel so deranged
Suddenly grown old

My heart is hollow
Empty of anything to feel
And people call me shallow
But that’s how I deal

No feelings just words
Emotions they are for me
Their utterances cause hurts
How can I just let it be?

Shall I let silence rule
For words are misunderstood
Shall I be a soundless fool?
Pretending all is good

That’s not how it is
That’s not how it would be
I’ll rise above this
Words not silence shall be with me
