Silent Screams

Can you hear my silent screams?? so loud they echo in my dreams.? Behind this face that carries a smile?, Lies a dark road that goes on mile after mile.?? My silent screams have been going on for years,? I only express myself through silent tears??. How can they hear these silent screams in my mind??They can't hear my thoughts if I keep telling them”I'm fine.” ??What can I tell them? Silent screams I carry around.? Feelings of sadness and being imperfect that hold me down.?? How can I explain so people understand this?? It's like walking around in a suffocating black mist?? It's holding on to happiness that easily slips away. ?It just escapes even when you want it to stay. I can't explain how this feels; it's so extreme,? So I hold my mouth shut to cover my silent screams.
