What Does It Really Mean To Suffer In Silence?

To be in a room full of people and still feel lonely
To laugh outside and be sad within
To be a beaming ray of sunshine but scream out when no ones around
To be so close to tasting the fruits of everlasting joy

Only for the birds to bear
To be okay with yourself
But only yourself 
For it will concern others

You don’t want to burden them
Do you?
To suffer in silence means to be alone in this
Because no one would seem to understand 

Feel the way you feel
See it the way you see it
