Never Speaks A Word Poem by susan brealey

She never speaks a word
and she never knows why.
But she is always pushing harder
until she breaks down and cries.

She is always so alone
afraid of not being heard.
And she's always left out
because she never speaks a word.

She is always screaming inside
and holding back her tears.
Since she never speaks a word
no one ever hears.

She tries to avoid reality
with music screaming in her ears;
an excuse to never speak a word
and to block out all her fears.

She feels that she's had enough
and she needs someone there.
But she'll never speak a word
so no one knows to care.

Without speaking a word
and so much left to say,
She'll go and pull the trigger
and silently fade away.
