No idea where this is going but I have some lyrics and FAWM is almost over so maybe I musicate this at 50/90!
I Die In Silence
February 28, 2022
I might not show it
I am not well
you might not know it
and I don't tell
you may not see it
I am not clean
Oh god
I caused this scene
sky is black
sun don't shine
I hide in corners
of my mind
world outside
is flavorless
pressure builds
oh god I'm dangerous
light streams in
through curtains slit
dust motes dance
inside of it
pierces darkness
lights the room
oh god
exposes my cocoon
sky is black
sun don't shine
I hide in corners
of my mind
world outside
is flavorless
pressure builds
oh god I'm dangerous
I sense your presence
dim at first
I see your eyes
I fear your thirst
this tragic scene
I must endure
premature
I die in silence
sky is black
sun don't shine
I hide in corners
of my mind
world outside
is flavorless
pressure builds
oh god I'm dangerous

I fear your thirst
Oooh, this is dark with such great descriptors and angst. I will love to hear this in 50/90, I know you can do an emotional sing on this...I am feeling it and I want to hear more!!

Powerful lyric! Such intensity in the lyric structure, had me hooked. Well done!
@unkept Mar 2022
Your words speak loudly even without music, very powerful imagery. Nice job!
@marthie Mar 2022
OH I so love this. I'm dangerous. I was in suspense: what is it, who are you, why are you here...???
@cindyrella Mar 2022
Oh gosh this is so beautiful but so tragic! Great writing!
@chroes Mar 2022
Oh, this is dark, yet so beautiful. Very intense writing, right up my alley. Loved it!
@sheilerk Mar 2022
Wow. That's intense! The very first two lines had me hooked. I had to know where it was going to go. The short maintain the intensity. There are so many good lines, I hide in corners of my mind, the dust motes dancing... so many! Guess I'll have to join 50/90 just to hear this one musicated!
