Raging Silence
Stephanie Richards 1984 (Kokomo)
He stole her innocence
Making her relive in his vileness
She would never find a release
Keeping her from ever reaching peace
With liquid and pills she would smother
She would never trust another
With her fading bright flame
She would never be the same
Her thoughts would betray her
How they would always recur
Waiting for her thoughts to take shape
Knowing this pain she would never escape
Always conflicting her reality and mind
All through her existence she became so blind
With her increasing doubt
She began to close everyone out
Losing herself and her heart
God sent his hand to help her part
To show her, she’s breathtaking in every way
God tells her, Connie you’ve earned your stay
So, come join me in this glorious place
Your family is waiting for your warm embrace
Walk with me child as I restore your soul
When we arrive to heaven, I promise you’ll be whole
