You can turn your head, you can walk away
But really it won't take the pain away
You can deal with it now or sometime after
You can cover it up with the sounds of laughter
You can trip on your future while lost in your past
Or swim to the surface, let your voice make a splash

Speak of your truth, scream if need be
Continue to yell though there's no guarantee
The words you say they may leave you broken
The demons, the doubts could cause a commotion
Scream it, say it, spill all your guts
Get it all out before you go nuts

But most important let yourself heal
And over time your mind will reveal
This painful journey, the path you've been on
It has kept you going and made you strong
Sink or swim, it's always your choice
Reveal your truth or lose your own voice

Love is kind
