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
