A Silent Cry
October.30.2000 6-6:40pm
Trisha Barrek Hopkins
It’s a tear drop no one can hear
A cry so silent only she can feel
This pain is getting stronger
This is what she feared
But now if anyone tried It’s too deep to heal
She doesn’t have the strength to go on any longer
It’s a silent cry
No one must find out about the pain in her heart
That sooner or later she knows she’ll die
No one wants to know she’s falling apart
She knows no one will for her care
So she lets the tear fall
And sits on the bed to stare
At the blank painted wall
Thinking to herself “This isn’t fair.”
Thinking and wondering if anyone would notice
If she was gone
If she disappears
Trying to figure out where she belongs
Wondering then would anyone hear her tears
Or would for every a silent cry be by her side
Would it be there forever
All she can do is sit in her room and hide
Not a person who shows they want her to stay
Or with her they want to be together
Or to let people see
To share their life with her another day
And to show that she can set the silent cry free
She wants to let this silent cry go away
To not have to worry
If she’ll live for another day
To everyone she doesn’t want to be the main story
