With every silence

Every shadow and every thought

Comes the screams.

I hear them and they just won’t leave

I see her screaming

Just wanting to let go

I hear her calling yet I won't answer

Even though I know I’m screaming

Screaming to let it all out

I run from it all

And try to quiet the screaming

So I can survive

I scream out my words in whispers,

And no one cares to hear.

The sounds of my lamentations

Are heard by my own ears.

I scream at the world

And cry out in agony

As I watch my life pass me by.

Tears flood my eyes

But the dams hold true,
