Silent Screaming Poem by Tessa Richardson

So here is where I lay broken
By so many words left unspoken
They think that I can be repaired
When my thoughts and feelings lay so bared
But really all this is useless
When everyone else is so abuseless.
I'm harmed by words and so much violence
Locked forever in cells of silence
They don't ask me what I go through
When they know its all because of you
Here I cry on a thousand breaths
And here I'll die a thousand deaths.

Now in anger I will sing
Of all the worthless pain you bring
One day I'll run from it all
When I'm not afraid that I will fall
There is no point, the suffering is endless
Its times like these that I feel friendless
The light to reach is so far away
Although I reach for it every day

I know that though these cuts leave scars
They are nothing more than prison bars
They just hide me away from everything
Each day another broken wing.

I scream for the world to
hear my cries.
But each time I do
It's just more lies.
So now and forever
I continue to hide
in my worthless and bleeding, thoughtless disguise.
