A Silent Cry

A silent cry

never to be heard,

like it's not even there.

Much more than one person

can bear.

So quiet and without sound.

Never to be listened to,

never to be found.

Fears of being judged

upon the discovery of a silent cry.

How the pain and misery

made everything black.

How wishing has never worked.

And still it comes back.

Hiding in the shadows.

So deep out of sight.

Never to be found.

Without a sound,

without a prayer.

Hiding the pains,

that souls cannot bear.

Hiding the fear and the anger.

But nothing is stranger,

than knowing a silent cry is there,

and yet nobody will care.

[TLK]

There is some chilling repetition here, and it reminds me of the feeling of a truly great short horror story. Not too much is given away, but there is no way that the facts add up to anything wholesome.

I wonder if you could pump this idea for more adventure -- I was asking myself, "what if someone was looking for this silent cry?"
