Silent Drops

I started writing poetry at the age of 13 and have not written in quite a few years but this one is from one of the many nights I lay awake...

             Silent Drops 
 

Silent drop fall from my eyes Releasing the pain I feel inside Trapped within myself I search for the strength to find some help Never letting anyone see The pain that I hide deep within me Silent drops are falling but no one ever hears me calling Lost inside a body That doesn't let me live I struggle everyday To give all I have to give Silent drops are flowing You have no way of knowing What it's like to be me I just want to be free Suffocating in my sleep As I try to rest in bed Fearing in my mind I might end up dead Silent drops are falling And no one ever hears a sound For I only let them fall When no one is around One more day A few more steps I have to keep on going But when, tell me when Will the silent drops stop falling...By Poet730 © 2002 Poet730 (All rights reserved)
