Silent Screams

It is not really meant to Rhyme, just a little free style poem.

Do you hear me?

Silently screaming.

Calm on the outside.

Screaming rage on the inside.

Do you see me?

Turmoil clear in my eyes.

Quiet on the outside.

Pain curdling screams on the inside.

Do you hear me?

Screaming for help.

Stubborn on the outside.

Helpless on the inside.

I am screaming!

But no one hears.

I am in pain!

But no one sees.

Im all alone.

Dealing with the pain.

Do you hear me?

Silently I scream.

Doesnt rhyme just a free style.

I truly liked this poem, it was very well written. The exclamations in the latter part of the poem, 'I am screaming!' and 'I am in pain!' work so well to emphasize the questions at the beginning, 'Do you hear me?' and 'Do you see me?'.

It seems that every second and third line following the first three questions showed how we as humans can get trapped behind our own facade.

'Calm on the outside.
Screaming rage on the inside.'

'Quiet on the outside.
Pain curdling screams on the inside.'

'Stubborn on the outside.
Helpless on the inside.'

This poem not only states the turmoil of the soul we keep hidden from others hoping that they can see behind our masques, but also shows our duality as human beings. We reveal one thing to the world when in truth we are feeling the opposite on the inside.

Again, this was very well written.

Reminds me of one of my poems again, Tormentor with Three Faces. I can relate a lot with this one, the feel of being so Alien to the world tends to makes us feel so separated from reality. You want help, but can't reach out for it. I love this, very well expressed.

This poem just tells how we humans feel at times. Yeah, some screams just don't come out the way we want them to. They go silent inside.
Good one.

Doesn't have to rhyme. It's very powerful! I like it and, more importantly, I can feel it. Good job.

I think it's wonderful that you are able to convey your feelings in writing! Good job!

I love this poem. I am so related to this feeling. When I first started having this kind of feeling, I thought it would go away when I grew up, and it did for a few years but now it seems to be back in my life. If you are really feeling this way, feel free to talk to me. If you don't feel this way and expressed it this way, I am really really impressed!!!
