Silent cries bellow in the night.
Unhealed scars, forgotten pain.
Bathed in unshed tears,
Anguish drowns my troubled soul.

Smiles that glittered like the stars,
Crushed beneath a broken world.
Laughter that rang like chiming bells,
Drowned in a river of misery.

Mocking expectations pry into my muddled mind,
Filling my world with endless thoughts.
Anxiety crashes onto my body,
Destroying an era of peace.

Eyes slide shut, silence prevails.
A single teardrop plummets onto the terrain.
Loneliness, agony, rage.
Forgotten as tears fall.
