Silent Pain

HEART beating so very fast
Chest feeling tight.

Cold sweat in the day
Nightmares in the night.

Screaming coming from within 
But no sound coming out.

Why must I hold it in 
Why can't I just shout.

But the pain is mine and mine Alone 
It drives me to despair 

I'm told to tell someone but it's to much 
Pain to share.
