Silent Scream

I open my mouth yet nothing comes out
Only silence as my pain I would shout
Strangling back the sound of my cries
Voicing it loud but in muteness it dies

Stuck in the pit of pride’s selfish hold
Frozen in the depth of a soul dead and cold
Mistrust and jealousy have taken its toll
Power to fight from my heart you stole

I look into eyes that were warm and alive
Now I can see there’s no will to survive
Unable to give sound to the sorrow I feel
Unable to yell of a pain that is real

Cursed into silence, not allowed to speak
You will not listen to the answers you seek
All of this pressure has built to extreme
Leaving me dying in silent scream

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Brian, your heart feels muted behind these heartwrenching words, my heart goes out to you and I hope all is well with you now and now your heart is screaming with rapture and hope and freedom! (big hugggssssss) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Brian, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I know exactly how you feel (if this is about you). I scream silently on a daily basis - I cry silently - and I smile silently. Excellent and touching write sir.
