Voices Of The Unspoken Poem by Darlene Sierra

The screams, the shouts
That echo of the wall
The silence that fills my doubts
Is the loudest of them all

Who would’ve have knew
This would happen to me
My nightmares have come true
Why did it happen to me

Should I be glad
The hatred’s gone
Should I be mad
My family’s finally done

What should I do
Hide the pain away
What can I do
But bottle it all away

The courts come by
I make a choice
Should I just lie
Or hide my voice

The slam of the doors
The screams of anger
The silence comes back once more
My family is in danger

Who is that person
I don’t mean to whine
But is my life going to worsen
Because I want back what once was mine

Keep them away from me
I don’t want to see
This stupid reality
For it'll ruin my mentality

The tears run down my face
I lose all my sense
Is there a place
That can be my defense

The silence haunts me
I know the worst is to come
What could it be
Where is it going to come from

Life do you hate me
Bring me back my family
Please hear my plea
I want my family

Where did you go
Did you have to leave
Is this better though
Even if I can no longer believe

The courts come by
I wonder if I should lie
Would it save us
Or am I just making a fuss

It’s better this way right
Because no more tears will be openly shed
But then again the moonlight
Will show the tears that were unshed

The screams have stopped
The silence fuels my hope
The slam is slightly muffled and cropped
My heart won’t be able to cope

Who is that person there
I want them to go away
Send them far away from us
Tell them to bring me back what once was mine

God, save my family
Please here my plea
Save my family for me
Please here my hopeless plea
