Screaming Silently

I scream but you don’t hear me
No, please don’t go
The darkness encases me
Please just stay
I promise to change
I promise to try
But you don’t hear me

I cry but you don’t see me
Tears of silver scars
The darkness engulfs me
Droplets of hurt
Thinking of loss
Thinking of grief
But you don’t see me

I shout but you don’t hear me
Why hurt me?
What did I do?
My rage fuels me
Stabbing me once
Stabbing me twice
But you don’t hear me

I write but you don’t read me
Deafened mind of ignorance
Immaturity
My pain tortures me
Message unread
Message read
But you don’t read me

I vent but you don’t hear me
This is what hurts me
Alone with anxiety
Aching vibrates through me
No problem here
No problem there
But you don’t hear me

I weep but you don’t see me
Pretending to not see
Wet cheeks of sorrow
As loneliness languishes me
Heaving sighs
Heaving mind
But you don’t see me

I whisper but you don’t hear me
Please help
Save me
Despair devours me
Silently screaming
Silently slipping
But you don’t hear me
