Bonus “Silent Screams”

They think I’m good ‘cause I laugh…

But I scream when it’s quiet.

You just don’t hear it.

⸻

I scream in silence, no one know

Smile on my face but my pain don’t go

Say I’m strong, but I’m barely here

Eyes wide open but I fight my fear

Can’t tell moms, can’t tell my bros

Can’t tell her ‘cause that ship done froze

So I just ride with the weight unseen

Dyin’ inside with my silent screams

⸻

Woke up, same war in my head

Every thought feel like lead

Still post up like “I’m fine,”

But the truth keep creepin’ behind

Mental ain’t straight, I just fake that grin

Tell jokes so they don’t see within

But I’m hollow, broke, bruised in my chest

Still don’t quit, but I ain’t felt rest

They say “talk,” I say “nah, I’m good”

Rather bleed on a beat than be misunderstood

‘Cause they judge pain they don’t relate

So I wear my mask and accept my fate

⸻

I scream in silence, no one know

Smile on my face but my pain don’t go

Say I’m strong, but I’m barely here

Eyes wide open but I fight my fear

Can’t tell moms, can’t tell my bros

Can’t tell her ‘cause that ship done froze

So I just ride with the weight unseen

Dyin’ inside with my silent screams

⸻

I done texted “I’m good” from a dark-ass place

I done prayed with a blade near my face

I done laughed in rooms full of ghosts

I done kept my pain when I needed it most

Don’t ask why I’m distant now

When I was near, y’all ain’t ask how

So I built this shell, real tight, real clean

But I still bleed from these silent screams

No therapy, just therapy in ink

Trap beats talk when I can’t think

This my cry — not for help, just truth

So when I’m gone, they know my proof

⸻

I scream in silence, no one know

Smile on my face but my pain don’t go

Say I’m strong, but I’m barely here

Eyes wide open but I fight my fear

Can’t tell moms, can’t tell my bros

Can’t tell her ‘cause that ship done froze

So I just ride with the weight unseen

Dyin’ inside with my silent screams

⸻

Y’all don’t gotta hear it…

But that don’t mean I ain’t screaming.

Always systematic
