This is a poem i read in a book:
Silent Scream
Outside you seee me smiling
And floating through each day
A little tired, a little thin
But overall okay.
But you don't hear my anguished thoughts
Which surface every night
They plague me, haunt me torment me
'Til I'm to weak to fight.
And so next day I come to school
With deeply shadowed eyes
I smile laugh and speak on cue
Living a pack of lies.
A silent scream echoes inside
Reaction to my lie
"Til with no warning it erupts
And I crumble down and cry.
Come find me, help me, make it stop
No! Keep out go away
For if you come I've no control
Over the words I say.
Can't you hear my silent scream
Decipher what I hide
So come and ask me what is wrong
Come sit down by my side.
If nothing else then please read through
This tangled web I weave
For you are really not the one
I'm trying to decieve.
Help me I don't know what I want
I've lost my guiding light
Please hold me let me cry and say
Somehow you'll make it right.
Perhaps deep down I know whats wrong
What keeps me up awake
What is the source of all my tears
And ever-there heartache.
But not yet can I face it
Or maybe I just won't
Please someone help me understand
God only knows I don't.
