Silent Enemy

There lives a silent enemy inside
That destroys the good of a heart.

This silent enemy that lives inside
Seems so reluctant to leave.

My silent enemy that stays inside
Twists and turns, stabs and burns.

This silent enemy that lies inside
Is breaking down my soul.

But I can scream and shout, bellow and yell.
I will laugh and sing, giggle and smile.

Because my silent enemy has no voice.
And I do.
