Notes About The Poem

Rework of a previous poem Silent Screams.

Listen to poem:

Silently I SCREAM

Silence the waves that hit the shore,
Silence the birds they call no more.
Silence the souls lost in night,
Silence echoes no more they fight.

Screams the waves that crash and break,
Screams that cause the thin air to shake.
Screams that tear the soul apart,
Screams that pierce to the heart.

Silently, the screams fill the air,
Screams rising from deep despair.
Silent screams, scream silently.
Silently I scream …. defiantly.

Sam Scott September 7, 2026 at 12:02 PM I like what you have done with this poem! A masterpiece of creativity. So very enjoyable (fav) Alison A Smith September 7, 2026 at 3:30 PM Thank you ... poetry sometimes has a real place in expressing feelings that vocalising can't.

David Crandall July 28, 2026 at 7:37 AM Great poem. I guess pain is worse when it can't be expressed, but poetry can express it. Alison A Smith July 28, 2026 at 5:40 PM Yes, what is put down in words helps with what is spinning in our heads.

Angela Terry June 17, 2026 at 9:36 PM I've had many silent screams in my head over the years. Did you use the Donna app to create the music? Alison A Smith June 17, 2026 at 10:58 PM I use Mureka for all my music. Thank you for your comment
