Naylene's Book Of Poems

Suffering In Silence.

(Before you read this, I got the idea of this from a Zodiac Cancer post that said "Because Cancer suffers in silence, No one really knows the depth of their sorrow and pain. 

Okay, Continue! )

It's true I suffer in silence,

No one has ever disrupted it and made me speak while I'm in pain,

I think my parents hardly even know their daughter now-a-days,

I don't think they hear me at night when I'm crying,

I've learned to hurt silently.

I've learned to keep my voice down when I'm sobbing,

Covering my eyes and my mouth to make my crying not sound as loud as my suffering does in my head,

It's hard for me to cry when other people are around,

Where i could easily get help,

Where people would notice my pain.

But I've always suffered in silence,

No one in my classes have seen me cry

and I don't think they ever will unless I'm at the very end of line.

Don't tell me I'm fine, You don't know what's in my mind.

I know you don't like thinking that you're granddaughter,

The child who was always so full of life,

Has tried to end her own life,

Maybe pretending it's not real is for the best.

I'm trying to trust people,
Trust that they won't laugh at me,

That when I'm shaking like I'm my own earthquake,

They won't run away from the disaster that I am.
