Silent Tragedy

The world is shutting me out
and I can barely breathe
A vicious cycle that stabs my heart
I don't understand what goes wrong
I just want to disappear
to make it less painful
to just start my life over
in a whole another world 
I'm screaming inside
and chocking on my tears
but no one sees it

Date: 9/28/2008 5:24:00 PM Unfortunately, many hold in thier pain. The title is fitting for your poem. The first and last line fit well together for a powerful message. How often we are blind to another's hurt. Interesting poem for reflection. Karen Login to Reply
