I Stay Silent

by Hannah Tiernan   Apr 26, 2006


How could I tell you,
What was going on
With me?
Would you have understood,
Not only the physical scars
But the emotional too?
You were to caught up
With everything else
That you forgot about me
So I continued
Feeling secluded,
Angry, and alone
I am miserable
But you donâ??t listen
You donâ??t understand
You wonder why
I walk around
With no words coming from my mouth
And none of you notice
None of you taking the time
To understand
Youâ??re supposed to be my friends
Helping me
Keeping me
From feeling this way
But you donâ??t
So I remain silent
Wanting to talk to you
Longing to tell you of my pain
But I know
You wonâ??t understand
So I will stay
Silent

    Yeah, I used to be like that. So, I began to confide in my journal, and I began writing, and everything.

    Nice job, you can still be more imaginative and describe your feelings more deeply and expand your vocab. Keep it up
