Because I Wasn’t Social

Because I wasn’t social,
I didn’t tell a soul,
They found ways to control me,
In silence, I paid the toll.

They twisted words and moments,
Took advantage of my trust,
Because I wasn’t speaking,
They did what they felt just.

Because I wasn’t social,
No one saw the pain,
They never had to help me,
And I couldn’t explain.

They kept me in the shadows,
Where no one heard my voice,
And since I wasn’t reaching out,
I never had a choice.

But now the truth is clearer,
Though silence was their friend,
My voice is finding power,
And this silence has to end.

Because I wasn’t social,
They thought I’d never fight,
But now I see their games so clear,
I step into the light.
