Loneliness

Silent screams resonate through a still air,
I’m drowning and flailing in my mind.
Don’t tell me the sadness I once had is still there,
And that all beyond this escape is unkind.

Happy faces pass like shadows all around me,
Their laughs and joyous cries heard afar.
Silent, I let the pain sorround me,
And pray that my refuge isn’t far.

Broken, my mind starts to taunt me,
Whilst tearing my sanity apart.
Broken, I know I can’t stay free,
And let all this sorrow depart.

But I rattle the chains of this Silence,
My mouth lined with blood as I spat.
And I broke all the chains of that Silence,

And calmness set in after that..
