If I Was A Dumb Girl

If I was a dumb girl,
I wouldn’t be afraid.
If I was a dumb girl,
I wouldn’t be betrayed.

This world would become a game of chess
and my destiny wouldn’t become a mess.
My silence would be threatening
because no one would know it’s meaning.

The crevice in my heart,
will be filled with the sound of those I love.
But to be brave would be an art,
because no one would know when I am breaking.

If I was a dumb girl,
I would keep to myself.
If I was a dumb girl,
I wouldn’t take pride of myself.

The silence that will fall upon my soul
will create a quiet kind of thunder.
A thunder which cannot be heard
but a one that can only be felt.

Silence is gold and it may turn old
But my speech all will beseech.
What’s left in life, I would ameliorate
Because no one in my life could change fate.

If I was a dumb girl,
it really wouldn’t matter.
Because when my silence spoke a thousand words,
you never heard them…
