#3-My Silent Cry

Can't you hear my plea
The one on my tongue?
I wish that you would help me
But I can't voice my cries
I'm swallowed in shame
Bound in iron chains
Since nothing's left a mark
No one can see my pain

Can you hear my silent cry?
It echoes through the night
Can you hear my silent cry?
It's searching for the light
Can you hear my silent cry?
'Cause I'm losing the fight
Can you hear my silent cry?
I want something to hold tight

Can't you hear my voice
Screaming out my pain?
Although it may be silent
My fear, it screams in vain
I'd look in your eyes
Tell you face to face
But every time I try
Fear seems to hold me back

Can you hear my silent cry?
It echoes through the night
Can you hear my silent cry?
It's searching for the light
Can you hear my silent cry?
'Cause it's losing the fight
Can you hear my silent cry?
I want something to hold tight

And every you've looked at me
You've been oblivious
You don't see the pain I hide
No, you don't hear my silent cry
You see my grin and think I'm fine
That the sun is on my side
But in truth, I'm in the shadows
Why can't you hear my silent cry?

Can't you hear my silent cry?
I'm screaming out your name
Can't you hear my silent cry?
I'm being held by chains
Can't you hear my silent cry?
My hushed voice echoes pain
Can't you hear my silent cry?
I'm calling you in vain

You can't hear my silent cry
No, you can't hear me cry to you
Because it's my silent cry

I actually wrote this... a year ago and a half ago? Two years? I'm not sure, but it was before covid happened.

And yes, it's one of the hundred angsty songs/poems reflecting on my troubles. Lol, you'd be suprised how many of those I have. But this is one of my favorite songs I ever wrote.

I'm starting to wonder... are all my songs full of angst? Lol.
