Silent screams

 One day you’re full of life 

Smiling, singing from the roof tops 

And determined to make every minute count 

And the next 

You don’t feel that you can see the day through 

And you’re praying to be saved from yourself.

One day you’re bubbling with excitement 

And everything looks bright and beautiful 

The flowers, the grass, the sky 

This big, amazing world.

And then those overpowering thoughts 

Come pounding the door down once again.

Tears cascade, a silent stream,

 In sorrow's grasp, dreams may seem

To fade beneath a heavy veil, 

Yet hope persists, beyond the pale.

And in the very next moment 

It’s almost a black abyss 

And you find yourself sinking into a quagmire of despair and despondency.

The light flickers 

And the pendulum stops briefly - and then starts again 

And stops and starts 

Melancholy and hopelessness reign supreme

And the confusion is overbearing 

And your laboured breath begs for release. 

Your heart pounds uncontrollably 

Tears cascade, a silent stream,

 In sorrow's grasp, dreams may seem 

To fade beneath a heavy veil, 

Yet hope persists, beyond the pale.

In the quiet passage,

 We all must tread,

 Leaving behind dreams,

 Words left unsaid.
