SILENT SCREAM

     Some people scream

with head tilted back ,

with vicious words

the world they attack .

     Some people scream

with needle in arm,

trying to find

a fantasy charm .

    Some people scream

grasping bloody tipped knife

stabbing into

the midst of their life .

    But I scream

a scream,

a silent scream

out of a dream of fear .

I scream

a scream,

a silent scream

that no one seems to hear .

    Some people cry

with tears from their souls,

yearning for love

to make their hearts whole .

    Some people cry

with tears from their eyes,

reliving the past

drowning in lies.

   Some people cry

having no love,

dodging troubles

that rain from above .

    But I cry a cry

a silent cry,

with blood

as drops of tears .

I cry a cry

a silent cry

that burns

like a hot iron sears .

    Some people scream

for failing a dream,

knowing the past

cannot be redeemed

    Some people scream through

protest and war,

yelling that doomsday

is right at the door .

    Some people scream

that all has gone wrong,

that the Earth is losing

that there is no more song .

    But I scream

a scream

a silent scream

that comes from

a dying heart .

I scream

a scream

a silent scream

that would tear

your soul apart .

    Some people cry

because they're always alone,

slowly they become

emotions of stone .

    Some people cry

because they're always in need,

never enough for

the children they feed .

    Some people cry

for no reason at all,

surrounding themselves

with an invisible wall .

    But I cry a cry

a silent cry

with tears

you cannot see .

I cry a cry

a silent cry

you can hear

only in my reality .
