Silent Cry

A tortured soul yearning to be heard

Crying, screaming, wanting to be seen

A cry for attention?

A need for fame?

What they don’t see is all her pain

Desperate to feel wanted

Pleading to be loved

The hopeless desire that pills can’t get rid of

Why can’t anyone see her slipping away?

Why can’t anyone help her fight?

All she is, is an empty spirit

A beautiful failure

A silent cry in the night
