My Silent Cry Poem by Skylark Woodrow

Every time I get that look in my eyes,
Every time I say I'm fine,
Every time I say it's no big deal,
That is my silent cry.
I am screaming on the inside and no one can see it,
I make up these lies but don't believe it.
This pain engulfs me heart and soul,
I'm not me anymore.
How do I find me again?
All I want is for someone to see me, the real me,
But no one can see through my lies,
No one can see the pain in my eyes,
No one can hear my silent cry.
