8th Grade Poems, To and From

Silence is Deadly-Bella

A silent scream rips through the night

Pleading for help and answers;

It shivers from the smite

Made by ignorance's laughter.

Its cry goes unheard,

And didn't actually leave the room.

When we wish for mind readers,

It's to prevent the impending doom.

There's weight left on their shoulders,

Their lungs choking for air,

They're left under a boulder,

Made by grief's affair.

Even in the daytime,

When not a teardrop falls,

Others always deny

That anything was wrong.

So every single night, they wait:

To see if sadness is just a dream,

Or have anyone by fate

Hear their silent scream.

But remember silence is deadly,

Because a scream with no air

Leads to a heart with no beat;

All because everyone around was left unaware.
