Sound of Silence
Sound of silence
Everything seems fine,
In this small world of mine.
Nonetheless things are seldom what they seem.
Many don’t know how my life has been,
My troubles are never seen,
My voice is hidden deep within.
How can my silence be so loud yet no one can hear?
My unheard cry for help makes me fear.
I fear what will happen next,
In this era of technology people simply text,
How can I text my cry for help?
Where will I find time to crab a phone?
Where will I even fine one?
How can my silence be so loud?
Why can’t people hear me shout?
I shout behind the make-up cream,
Thus making people unaware of my scream.
My cry becomes louder with every hit,
But I do not know to get out of this pit.
Can’t anyone lend a helping hand?
Can’t anyone pull me to a safe land?
People think they know my life,
They think I am a beautiful and happy wife,
But they do not know what I am about,
I must find a way to come out.
There must be a way for me to be heard.
Listen to the sound of my silence
It is the loudest sound in my head,
If it continues this way, I might end up dead.
This sound in my head could lead to suicide,
This is because it is not heard in the outside
It is killing me slowly inside.
Help me world, this is my cry,
Listen to the sound of my silence.
(We all know the signs of abuse
Those signs are the sounds of
Silence, let us help them together let us
Incline our ears to their cry)
