Don't be scared to be yourself
Actions speak louder than words
And from your actions I can tell that you're hurt
That you try helplessly and hopelessly everyday
To act like you don't have feelings
Like right now none of this has a meaning
You pretend like you're cold as ice
But the water is crystal clear
And I see everything you're trying so hard to hide
I see the casket of secrets you keep buried inside
I hear the words you won't dare to say
Because you're afraid of the way you might love
But love has never caused a tear
But fear instead caused them all.

I see the casket of secrets you keep buried inside
I hear the words you won't dare to say

The author encourages honest critique.
Perception, insights, and random droppings. Thank you ...
Can 100 monkeys typing random letters occasionally stumble upon words. Are they any different from the thousands of arbitrary electric shocks stimulating oodles of neurons within my skull, forming accidental, erratic concepts that slowly weave into ideas.
Small changes, your cold should be you're cold.
To me, the ending of love / fear doesn't totally work. For me, ending with childhood pain and fear would work better.

Because you're afraid of the pain you once knew
Pain that concealed you as you grew
Love lost never caused all those tears
It's only fear that has silenced you for all these years
