Voiceless

You hide behind characters
Afraid to taste the bitter flame
You burn off your tongue 

Disguising your weakness 
Clutching your pride
Not woman enough 
To step forward and speak 

Choking on the words unleashed
Selling the table you set
Watching you run like you just saw a ghost
 
I always come forward 
But you're cowardice, so fake
I lined up my aces 
You lined up your tape
