Silent Mermaid

-

-

One day her voice was lost in a
sudden outburst
Like the mermaid who contracted the wicked witch of the sea

Who is she? Who am I?

Silent mermaid is no more a princess
Just a puppet controlled by an unknown master

I never had a dazzling voice
Just a tinny thing
Chanting in my own selfish way
With no voice, what is left of me?
What is the value of my life

Please don’t take my song away
My voice, my sound has to stay

I want to sing so much
But I cannot stop
But why? Where is my voice?
This moment is essential for me
It has to be now
Pains my heart

What shall I live for after my mermaid dream ends forever?
I will give you anything in return
I’m terrified
Beyond my wildest dreams
I sing

One day I realized an important part of my life
Is the voice worth a sacrifice to crush my tiny heart

Why is that? Why so much?

There is no prize where there is no effort
Most beautiful gems never come
Without the sweat and tears

Diamond has to be kept in care
Polished to shine so very bright and crystal clear

I won’t stop believing that my voice will come back to me someday
Even if my heart is taken
My voice my sound has to stay

I am the princess
But I cannot sing
That’s me? The true me is here
There’s nothing in front of me now
I will be me
Proud of myself

Dreams should be won for after a fight that scars you forever
I can be anything in return
Well now I know
As the foam of the sea
I sing

Your voice is beautiful as the sparkling sea
(Not as much as you can say)
To the heart you sing
(Not true for sure)
Listening to your voice
Makes one tear up from now and then
(Sometimes I’m terrified, I can’t help but these tears fall)

You can sing with your voice
With my voice I sing my heart
Proud as the sky I sing my own song (Ahead you go, it will be fine)

This is the song of me for now and all my heart
Free as a star
Because you are there believing in me
I will sing till the world ends

Dreams should be won for after a fight that scars you forever
I am already anything but me
I love being me
For only tiny me
I sing

One day my voice suddenly came back
At this moment, I want to share this feeling to the world
With a weak voice, immature song
Incompleteness still hovers around me

Listen to my song
This is just the start of my mermaid dream
