Silent Cry

 The fire rips through me 

And still brings mirages of hope 

To be heard, to be understood 

To be loved. For who I am.

I pay for sins that I know not of 

Yet here I am, committed to mayhem 

Apparently overthinking it.

To you, my problems are small 

Insignificant to your rich world 

Of course, you suffer from the heat, it's summer 

Of course, you don't get appreciation 

Your art is free, who will buy it?

Madness, anger, frustration 

I have been silently screaming into my pillow 

Every night for the past decades.

My tears have now dried up in hell 

Where many like me scream into the black hole 

Where our issues and complains disappear 

Before they reach your privileged ears.

I chose this life, I chose my pain 

For the little things you find insignificant 

That makes me who I am 

And enlighten my soul, richer than yours.

Your flaws, your reasons, your excuses 

I justify them all in my head 

Because I have lived with myself my whole life 

I know it is tough to be with someone like me.

I am burning in hell, not that you can tell 

From your lofty palaces in the cloud 

You can't even see this further down.
