Shh.. They are elders

Shh.. they are elders
They interrupted my voice
A hand on my mouth
and I was silenced like nothing happened
What am I supposed to do?
The silence screams in my head
the echoes haunt within
and I was silenced like nothing happened
As if the elders will not be elders anymore
or as if the things will happen if I speak
but nothing was left to happen further
and I was silenced like nothing happened
My questions were buried
and my eyes were numb
will my silence gonna turn that the same?
And I was left silenced
With the fire in me blooming
The fire burning my own soul
and their hands on my mouth
Shh.. They're elders.
