Silent Tears

They yell

they scream

they do all of these

bad

things

They think I'm tough

They think I'm fine

But that's only because they can't hear me 

cry

I'm so used to these things

I have cried so much

So much that I have learned how to cry silently

The drops hit the floor

the bed

the pillow

the sheet

everything

That's the only sound I make

They can't hear me cry

They can't hear me sniffle

All they hear is the pitter patter

of drops on the floor

The rain drips from my soul and onto the floor

With only the sounds of false rain
