Silent Screams

They were dark days that blocked the light, that never seemed to end.
There was sickness in my body and confusion in my mind, all of which haunted.
Searching in the rubble for answers,sifting in the dirt for clues there was nothing.
Hope and love was a treasure lost to time and the dark was there to stay.
     Looking in the mirror of my mind, finding nothing, I asked of myself,
    "Was it all a fable and will it ever change"?
    "It never really was or ever will be" said the secret voice.
     Screaming in silent desperation  I cried out "God help me"
                                 And he did!
