Rushing, pounding, falling,
Thousands of lives disappear.
No one can see,
No one will notice one more life.

How many more times do I have to cry?
How much more pain must I endure?
Will this sound ever go away?
The sound that invades my mind.

I hear what others do not,
I see what they will not.
Silence is my comfort,
Lies do not speak when all is quiet.

Every tear falls unnoticed,
I stop crying.
Every scream goes unheard,
I stop screaming.

Every light gets extinguished,
I stop hoping.
Every good deed goes unrepaid,
I stop caring.

Around these people,
I don't know who I am.
Alone in the dark,
I am myself.

They can never see the real me,
Every attempt to show them gets me thrown away.
Everyone will disappear,
No one will look back.

In a storm,
A first raindrop must fall.
That lonely raindrop,
Dying alone.
