A Silent Tear

“This is for all the people out there-“ the rapper stops, hand running over the crowd, “-who feel like-“ he paces, scamming the crowd, “-like they have done wrong.”


The crowd bursts into cheers, the stage goes dark, the rapper steps back and drums start a steady beat.


“Don't put your faith in me

‘cause loving me is worthless

Don't try so hard to see the best in me

No purpose and you can't save me

I'm a goner and it's making me sick

You don't deserve me

You're too perfect to be dealing with this

Just let me go back to my old ways

I'll be okay I'm sorry.”


The crowd starts to sing along, the lyrics floating throughout the whole stadium.


“Been so hard to keep it simple

Always in the middle of things I

Don't really want to be in

Life for me is sort of sinful

Always act on impulse

Became someone I don't want to be now

I could drop ten racks but

It wouldn't mean a thing

Make it right back

Still gon' end up in a grave

Yeah, she told me she in love

I don't even know her name

I can hit her up but

It won't erase the pain, nah.”


Iamjakehill paces the stage, his part coming in, the mic lifted to his lips.


“Don't put your faith in me

I don't wanna see you cry

Why do you wanna save me?

Why do you even try?

Don't put your faith in me

‘cause loving me is worthless

Don't try so hard to see the best in me

No purpose and you can't save me

I'm a goner and it's making me sick

You don't deserve me

You're too perfect to be dealing with this

Just let me go back to my old ways

I'll be okay I'm sorry.”


The woman sitting alone lets the tears pool, her bottom lip quivers.


“Tell me I'm only by myself

In the vision I created put you to the side

Know I hate to see you cry

But I'm running out of time and

I know you can't relate

I know I deserve it all

Don't wanna be the one you hate

So take my heart and throw it right back

You know I like that you don't deserve that

These worthless words will bury me

Six feet under the dirt, nah.”


The crowd stands, the last verse coming fast. The rappers hold the mic out, the crowd screams;


“Don't put your faith in me

I don't wanna see you cry

Why do you wanna save me?

Why do you even try?

Don't put your faith in me

‘cause loving me is worthless

Don't try so hard to see the best in me

No purpose and you can't save me

I'm a goner and it's making me sick

You don't deserve me

You're too perfect to be dealing with this

Just let me go back to my

Old ways I'll be okay I'm sorry.”


Amidst the roaring applause, a silent tear fell, reflecting the untold story she could never tell.


(This is a real song. By Iamjakehill and Josh A. It’s called Save Our Souls. Not the best, but I listen to Iamjakehill’s angry songs… So I scanned their lists in hopes to find a song that might make someone cry. 🖤🤷🏼‍♀️)
