Silent Cries For Help

You can’t hear my silent cries
     Though I’m screaming deep inside
Pleading for someone to help me
     Praying for this nightmare’s ending

You can’t hear my silent cries
         Can’t you feel it through my eyes
Eyes fixed in color of pain
           Drowning, treading life in vain

On the street, people passing
 Can’t they see, why aren’t they asking
Indifference to my muted tears
                 Sinking, all hope disappears

You can’t hear my silent cries
             Still, I’m weeping in my mind
Waiting for something to save me
          Anguish, no more to enslave me
