Silent screams, my dear friend, a storm raging within
A heart shattered like broken glass, impossible to mend
Little me grew up with love, a withered garden
A fragile soul, crushed by the weight of the world

My parents were my shelter, now lost at sea
I'm adrift, a ship without anchor, lost and alone
I yearn to cry, scream, shout, weep, and express my pain
But my words are stuck, a heavy burden I cannot release

In the darkness, I've sought escape, a permanent sleep
A way to silence the screams, to quiet the ache
I've tried to end the pain, to still the heart that beats
But somehow, I'm still here, a ghost that haunts the streets

I sit in the dark, holding my knees, a prisoner of my mind
A labyrinth of thoughts, with no escape,
I know that nothing in the world can help me, no solace to find
My words are lodged in my throat, a constant, silent scream

Night light flickers, a faint glow in the darkness
Silent screams, my dear friend, a haunting echo of my pain
I'm lost, unsure of life's purpose, a journey without direction
I've tried to escape, but the world is a cage, a restriction that binds me.
