The Silent Screams

Can’t you hear my silent screams?

They are so loud; they echo in my dreams.

Behind this face that carries a smile,

Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile.

My silent screams have been going on for years,

But it always falls on so many deaf ears.

How can they hear these silent screams in my mind?

They cannot hear my thoughts if I keep telling I am fine.

How can I tell them? These screams carry no words,

It is just mere sadness and darkness that come in herds.

How shall I explain for people to understand this?

It is like walking around in a suffocating black mist.

It is holding on to happiness like holding water in your hands,

It just trickles between your fingers and disappears into the sands.

I am not able to explain how it became so extreme,

So here I cover my mouth as I get along my silent screams.
