My silent screams
My silent pleas
My mouth is open, but no sound is coming out
no words are forming
My mind is full of empty promises and lies
My heart is thumping madly loud
And my pulse is racing my silent breaths that come quickly
I take in one huge breath slowly
my heart thumps
my soul readies itself
my lungs expand
my pulse races
I let out my silent scream
It's louder than hell
But it's more silent than a rose petal
It's loud to the people that are able to hear it
But silent to most people
I stop screaming
I'm still screaming
I thought I had stopped
But I had never stopped screaming
while the tears of sadness and frustration stream down my face
*And no one's heard me yet

Theres plenty of fish in the sea.
But at least take the hook out of my mouth
before tossing me back in the ocean.

That small man who always sang
That small man who danced in my head
That small man with youth
Undid his shoelaces
And broke all the barracks of the festival
Suddenly everything collapsed
And in the silence of the festival
In the ruin of the festival
I heard your happy voice
Your voice so torn and fragile
Innocent and desolate
Came from afar and called me
And I put my hands on my chest
where they trembled ******
Seven broken pieces of mirror
with your twinkling smile

When freedom dawns
Each day anew
Its essence revered
By so few
~~~~~~~~~
Silence echos
Early dawn
As nature
Captivates the morn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sound of chirping
Birds that sing
Awaken us
To the sound of spring
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New buds shoot
Through toiled ground
Bringing forth the hope
Of joy  to be found
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Embracing each new day
We live
Encouraging all
To remember to give
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For just to take
And not to care
Would leave our hearts
And soles stripped bare
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Darkened past times
Now long gone
Shackles broken
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
