Alone In Pain Poem by Fareez Phalez

Folks don't talk anymore
When they do, they scream
It hurts me but I sleep on it
But I do cry in my dreams

And in those hurtful dreams
I pour my bleeding heart out
Yet silent when I'm awake
While around me it's so loud

There were times I've cried
Among my closest peers
Even they never knew
I've been in pain all these years

I said I'm giving up
Caring comes with a price
It gets to my head
And brings tears to my eyes

But brings words to no ears
Just pain to bear on my own
Brings me to a darker place
Where I love to be on my own
