Silent Screams

In the shadows, I wear my crime,

Fighting battles, lost to time.

Each echo of pain, a whisper deep,

In a world where silence makes us weep.

Underneath the weight of broken trust,

Every bruise a story, every tear a must.

Lying on the floor where the darkness creeps,

I called out for help, but no one hears me weep.

Clock ticks louder, trapped in this cage,

Living in a nightmare, another twist of rage.

The walls are closing in, can’t find the light,

Hoping for a rescue, but I’m losing the fight.

Save me, oh save me, from this endless night,

One voice, silent screams, can’t you hear my plight?

A gripped hand behind, a shadow takes form,

In the chaos of pain, I’m a place without warmth.

I’ve seen compassion fade in the eyes of the lost,

Each word that I speak seems to bear a cost.

Is there hope for the ones trapped in despair?

A cry for justice, a plea in the air.

She paced like a tiger, anger in her stride,

Blaming my existence, can’t run, can’t hide.

The echoes of her past cast a long, dark hue,

But what about the child? What about the truth?

I feel the world move under the weight of my heart,

Each moment etched in scars, tearing me apart.

The silence of the just, a deafening roar,

I want to be free; I want to be more.

Save me, oh save me, from this endless night,

One voice, silent screams, can’t you hear my plight?

A gripped hand behind, a shadow takes form,

In the chaos of pain, I’m a place without warmth.

So I’ll scream into the void, in hopes someone sees,

The scars of my soul carried on the breeze.

One voice may be silent, but it’s strong, it’s true,

In my darkest of fights, one day I’ll break through.
