Poem Title:
Poem
To the world you show a smiling facade, While hidden inside, chaos reigns. A swirling maelstrom of emotions - Grief, anger, confusion, Sweeping through your soul. Crimson tears drip from the cut in the heart. Your cries of anguish go unheard. You are suffering in silence. All around you a blissful world revolves. To others, you are part of that joyful existence. But I can see through the lies. Under the copious masks and the false bravado show, You are battling with yourself, and losing, The inner screaming falling on deaf ears. You are suffering in silence. There is no more joy in you. All laughter is forced, smiles fake, All things a mockery of pleasure. The rest of the world Is blind to the masks you hide behind. But I can see your true self. The true you is hiding under all those false layers, Waiting to be freed. You are suffering in silence. Shadows overwhelm and consume you. Small problems become larger than life, Worth even dying for. Your world is collapsing, spinning out of control. Everything is falling around you, and yet, No one notices. You are suffering in silence. Groping in the dark, The silence, The shadows, You finally reach the light, your hope: A friend who is willing to help you through the dark, Willing to share in your pain and despair, Willing to try to understand what words cannot describe, A friend whose love knows no end. I am that friend. Let me free you from the binds you have created. Let me free you from your silent suffering.
