Unheard

by H. Elizabeth   Mar 12, 2013


Like static in my mind
I scream my silent screams
Over and over again
A never ending process that
Leaves me thoughtless
And silently my screams continue
I am unheard.
Silently screaming
The pressure builds
This anger, always present
How I always feel
I go unheard.
I'm drowning
In a pool of nails
And my body breaks
As I am so frail
Yet as I drown
My screams are not muffled
They continue in my mind
Holding me
Putting me in a bind
Choking me
I am unheard.
Bite down on my lip hard
Blood is drawn
Trying to silence my unheard screams
Trying to stay calm
I go unheard.
It's like I'm swallowing sawdust
Unable to break through and breathe
Like needles in my eyes
Unable to break through and see
I never win
My screams never end
I am unheard.

    Sad, angry in some ways. You always have a way of making your emotions of sadness interesting, not sure if thats the right wortd, interesting, but it kept me reading, so the word applies. Very nice Hannah.

    ^That stood out to me the most. That part actually could be a poem entirely its own. This is worded exactly how you feel. These are the things that run through your mind and it's evident to me, because you've just worded what thousands of people struggling like this can not. Always brilliant, Hanny.<3
