Silent Screams

a poem aboutr emotional sexual abuse how others keep us quiet

Silent Screams

You don't hear us

We keep it inside

 Whatever was done is over

 noone wants to know

Noone wants to hear it

don’t see the bruises

 Or where is the scar buried deep inside

wounds reopen Whenever he comes around

 Torture just a way to remind

 You’ll never be free

 From the one who cause the pain

scar rip open again

You thought you got free

  starting standing on your own

 but here he is telling you nope

still have time left my work not done

using fear to make his point

tool to keep you quiet?

 no one wants to hear the screams

am I not worthy here

 What did I do?

  kept my mouth shut

 Maybe I should have scream

 They all say it’s j8ust bitterness

am I bitter

bitter no one can see

In front of everyone ALWAYS NICE

noone thinks it’s him

My word against his

emotions not allowed to be seen

Words to sensitive to express

Why did I think I needed to hear the comments?

fear still there  overwhelming my senses

brace myself for his onslaught

 He laughs  as rhe fear  gets to me again

I have to play he says

 cause he has eight more years

Trying to do what's right

 push my feelings aside

 let my son have his father

 He tells me I know where you are what you're do

how can I continue with this feeling

can't hide from him

tremble and stagger from fear

 he would get in again

 Game over I scream

 game over I said

they say he didn't do that just my word

he finally got his way

 out of fear he got what he wanted

No more I scream

If so bad, so unworthy such a mess to society

 tell him stop calling

 if I’m lying let it be known what  I’m lying about

tired of getting so far

only to be pulled back in his sadistic game

comes back slithering like a snake

swallowing his prey feel caught in his throat

  run to get away what is this fear

funny they look right at me

but can not see the women screaming inside

 

 when I start to let the poison out

They shut me up with words

who will believe me

he who is so great

 would or could do anything of the such

your word against his

same words  he told me they would say

 how can I believe you

 Can’t see the fear in my eyes

still has power to make me jump

 they scream back at me

 noooooooo you are bitter

 let her think you don’t believe

cause she can not let out the scream

silent screams builds inside

won't show the whole story

  will just scream inside

 fear is  not about what he already did

but what he has in mind next

same as before ruin me for life

fear never get back to where I should be

  someone like me should just follow directions

keep my mouth shut

cause who am I to think deserved anything more

 than just to be alive!!!!!!

Not letting the screams be heard

It's a great subject matter. Very difficult to describe but I think you've done nicely and kept the flow of the piece up. The only problem I can see is a few spelling errors. Other than that nice work!
