J's Musings

No one talks about,

The silent tears I cry,

In the bed, under the night sky,

Or the silent laughter we share,

Between family and friends,

They don’t say it’s ok,

To the silent apology,

I almost deleted,

Or the diary entry,

In my book-

That I tore and threw away;

They avoid the unheard screams,

Of pain from far away,

In agony and ignorance,

That hides their pain,

No one talks,

About the smile I couldn’t give,

Because they seemed out of reach,

And why don’t they ever notice,

The pain we hide in our screams?

By,
