Silent tears,
The ones that are never meant to be heard.
I sit in my room, alone, in the dark,
Waiting for my cheeks to dry.
Because I must travel this road alone.
False sympathy and justifications just antagonize me.
The smile on my face is my mask,
And my life, an act.
I live it like I'm standing in line
Waiting for happiness to happen.
Why is my soul so isolated with fear?
Why do I no longer care?
I think I'm starting to get to the point
Where I hurt so much my heart is making me numb.
It doesn't want me to feel the beatings and rape anymore,
It doesn't want me to feel like trash
While I'm being thrown to the ground.
And yet you ask where my self-esteem went?
Where did my confidence go?
They left me by myself
alone and abandoned,
Just like everyone I know.

I can relate
I'm so glad I run into this poem because I just wrote a poem titled "All They Need." Because they are abused children who are crying or yelling to be loved and cared for. I hope my poems will touch so many lives. -
