"Whispers"
~Sara Montey~

They whisper all around me
Things they think I shouldn't hear
They think I'm too fragile
To handle what they say

I'm not made of glass
Nor made of stone
I can bear the news you shed.

So open up your mouth
Stop pretending everything's fine.
I know the path of fear
Of agony and pain.

Anything you say to me
Won't ever bring me down
I've grown so much
In this past year
Nothing you say could surprise me.

I won't coward if you bring up
Those "touchy" subjects
I've faced them in reality
And I can do it again with you.

Don't be afraid to confront me
With your problems or my own
I won't back down, but rather
Thank you for being strong.

Some people keep everything quiet
Don't want to upset me or anything
But that pisses me off even more.

If you notice something's wrong
Don't just look away
Talk with me about it
Maybe it will help you in some way.
