Silent Pain Poem by Kovan White

Silent Pain



I'm crying inside… but never shed a tear
People outside my mind don't really know my fears
I don't know where I'm going… don't belong here
I forgot where I've been… like I never been a kid

Tell me it's gone be ok on my worst day
Tell me that I'll be just fine even if you're lyin'
Tell me why my heart shakes like an earthquake
Darker than my B-day put on back on replay

I can't open the blinds to see the sun shine
I can't open my mind because the keys high
Out of reach it won't even let me seek a peek
I want peace so hopefully I can get some sleep

Body free… but my mind trapped-in-jail
Release me… but I can't seem to make bail
Fresh air… but I can't seem to inhale
Have I failed… remove these cards that I was dealt
