Silent screams

My silence is my loudest plea to be saved
Anything you can do I ask without delay
Tears that escaped my grasp slide down my face
They're infused with anger and sadness they're laced
I've been running away from my emotional tyranny
What's right and wrong become rather blurry
I wish for any blissful escape no matter how temporary
My life before was beyond being scary
I screwed up I gave up I tried and failed miserably
I didn't know how to get up immediately
Day in day out
I got the strength to stand tall and proud
But night after night depression tore me down
My loudest scream was my absence of sound
My subtle heartbeat slowly pounding in my chest
Somebody save me and give me rest
I'm dying to the world day by day
But my last hope is that you stay
