Scream into Silence

A cycle of poems «When Your Love Turns to Ashes»

The walls are closing in again, a feeling I despise
A pressure building in my chest, reflected in my eyes
The words are caught inside my throat, a strangled, silent plea
A battle waging in my soul, for someone to just see

I scream into the silence, a deafening, hollow sound
Where echoes die before they're born, and truth cannot be found
My voice, a weapon shattered, against a wall of stone
I scream into the silence, and I feel so alone

They tell me to be quiet, to keep my thoughts inside
To bury all the anger, where resentment starts to hide
But the pressure mounts, a ticking bomb, about to explode
And silence feels like treason, to the story to be told

I scream into the silence, a deafening, hollow sound
Where echoes die before they're born, and truth cannot be found
My voice, a weapon shattered, against a wall of stone
I scream into the silence, and I feel so alone

Maybe someday, this roaring tide will finally start to ebb
Maybe someday, the words I hide, won't be a silent debt
But until then, I'll keep on fighting, against this crushing weight
Scream into the silence, and decide my own damn fate

I scream into the silence, a deafening, hollow sound
Where echoes die before they're born, and truth cannot be found
My voice, a weapon shattered, against a wall of stone
I scream into the silence, and I feel so alone

But even in the silence, a flicker still remains
A burning ember of defiance, amidst the pouring rains
I'll keep screaming into silence, until the dawn breaks through
And someone finally hears the voice, that's been screaming inside you too.
