To suffer in silence
Is painful.
It's Excruciating.
You have to bite your tongue
Just to keep from breathing a sound.
The words will fade
But the scars will last,
And still you can say nothing against them.
Still you cannot defy them.

To suffer in silence
Is draining.
Your will is tested
As they see how far you can be pushed,
How far until you crack.
But you are a fortress;
You find your strength in silence.
You wrap it around you like a blanket,
For without it where would you be?
Alone.
Desperate.
Screaming out to with no one hear you.

To suffer in silence
Is all I've ever known to do
To keep myself from breaking.

Just celebrating the break of my writers block by posting poems my mind dished out. Hopefully you will like it!

I guess I'm inspired by the silence in my house and so I wrote about it again. But since silence really bugs me I had to blast music from the wonderful band "It's Alive" from my speakers at full volume. :)

Part of the Hundred Themes Challenge.

Theme: Silence.

I'm slowly getting there you guys! :laughing: 8/100 complete!

*ear perk* It's Alive!? I LOVE that band!
lol. Aren't they just genius? I love how they're songs are kind of edgy, sometimes dark, but at the same time soft and true. :D

And as for the poem...I like it! I really like the way you portrayed the theme. It was flowing great and then abruptly cut off at the
"Alone. Desperate. Screaming out with no one to hear you"
Usually cut offs are terrible in poems that I've read but you've pulled it off! It was great! :)

Yes, agreed! I have to say "You can't love me" Is my favorite by them :D

Thanks! I actually didn't realize that was a cut off until you pointed it out and I reread it ^^; I am very nonobservant it seems!

I like this, good job. Its how I live to... but better to suffer yourself, then bring others down as well.

Thank you so much!

I'm sorry to hear this is how you feel. It's not a pleasant feeling, I will agree. However, I reached out to someone and they helped me out of this. Sometimes it is better to suffer in silence, but sometimes you just need someone there. :)

Also thank you for the fave :hug:

Ick, sounds messy. I have a counselor I am talking to, but I think she just thinks I'm really messed up :giggle:. Usually after I talk about certain things I feel better, but it's not happening anymore; I'll talk about it, and the weight of the problem is still there :|

Life just sucks sometimes. I hope everything works out on your end!

I hope things work out for you too... and maybe you should stop seeing your counselor, and maybe try a really good friend. Sometimes the people that are close to you are the best ones to ask, that or the ones that have gone through it and know how you are feeling and will understand.

Thank you for the kind advice. I think the counselor really IS helping, but I hate being judged by the person who is supposed to be helping me with my problems. Maybe I'll just find a new counselor. However I do agree that a really good friend is always a good thing, but I don't have one at the moment. I have friends, but none that really seem to care what is going on with me, so I had to seek help elsewhere. Yes, I am talking to a few people here on dA and that seems to be helping. I hope you have people like that to talk to, as well! :)
