Silent tears are not the same
As those of sadness and pain
They are that of depression
Of insecurity
Of not remembering who you are
They stain your cheeks just the same
And they have the same salty flavor
But the burn your insides to the very center
And they don't let you breath
And they reduce you to nothing
Silent because you are alone
And they want you to stay that way
Silent because nobody cares to hear anyway
