Circles

I wouldn't speak my mind I didn't want to make them mad I looked up to them for the courage I thought I didn't have I never bothered to lift a finger to make my point Now I'm spelling it out and nobody's listening It's hard to take it to heart It hurts to be apart But I can't watch and not be heard The days go by and things get worse but they say they can only get better I try to make a dent but it blends in with all the damage I try to look the other way but there's a mirror behind me I see images of what can be done It seems like I'm the only one I wouldn't speak my mind
