‘Suffer in Silence’

I am not allowed to speak up

Every time I do, you dig in your heels and make it worse

If one of us is sick and you find out, you dig in your heels and make it worse

If the wrong thing is said, you dig in your heels and make it worse

I know what you’re doing and you’re digging in your heels to make it worse

I stand up for myself and you dig in your heels to make it worse

I don’t say a thing but you dig in your heels anyway

You want me to stay quiet, suffer in silence, like a ‘good little girl’

The answer will always be no
