Silent cries

by Lette of Darkness   Jun 3, 2009


I see nothing, I am in the dark, with ought sight with ought sound….to help lead my way. All that I hear is my own screams of pain. But like before only I could hear them. I am in the middle of a maze but there is no light to find my path. I rely on my own instinct and feelings. Thinking to my self…lost in confusion, I am hoping that some one will find and help me out of this mess, but it seems to be I am more lost deep within this unfamiliar place. As I wonder deeper I feel thorns scratching my body, branches from near by plants tangle my feet. I fall. Thorny vines entangle me as I try to crawl away, but all I hear is my screams no one else can hear…all I feel is the pain that is inflicted from pushing down the wrong path. I hear whispers and giggling in the distance…I become confused and misunderstand. I panic and tears roll down my cheek. I am terrified of what will happen to me…I worry if I will ever escape this hell or if I will die trapped here, entangled in these thorny vines of self pity and anger. I lay in this mess cold and alone, wondering if I will ever be saved. I lay here thinking to myself that no one will ever come. I hear a cry from another, but not too far away. I stand and make my way through this darkness to find this person who is in pain. I slowly get closer to the sound of their voice, I hear the fear in their voice as they ask “wh-who is there?” I say to them “what is wrong…why are you screaming?”
They said to me, “Because no one hears my silent cries…” I said to this person that I could not see, “only the ones who hear silent cries, have been there, when no one else heard their cries.”
I look to my side and I see light in the distance. It moves closer. Then light appears all around me, I look down to see who I was having a conversation with, but I was startled to see no one there…but myself. I pondered this to myself for a minute and then realized I needed to let my past go so I could open my eyes to see where I must go so I would no longer be in the dark.
