Your Silent Scream

I am the metronome of madness

I am the symphony of sadness

I am everything you fear

And in between

When you look into the mirror

You flail and drown within the furor

Beneath a tidal wave of terror

Soul unseen

While you’re crying for an ending

From within your heart is rending

A slalom towards depression

You careen

Within the vacuum, gasp for air

You spiral further, they don’t care

You reach the end and slowly realize

What it means

In the distance, music playing

While your dreams they take to slaying

Only you and I can hear

Your silent scream

  3. A very dark but beautiful poem. That death like character in the picture matches the poem well.

    Haunting, raw and brutal and beautifulβ€”like a lullaby sung by shadows.
    These words don’t just rhyme; they bleed. The scream may be silent, but its echo is deafening.

      2. Well, I am working this weekend, so “smooth” is a relative term in this case πŸ˜„πŸ˜„
        Been a bit hectic, but I’ll be getting into all that soon enough LOL!
