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.









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.
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!
Thanks! I actually didn't realize that was a cut off until you pointed it out and I reread it
And lol. No need to worry. I am too.
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
Life just sucks sometimes. I hope everything works out on your end!
