Worn

A Poem by Abby

tired

life has become so heavy
screams have become silent
and my tears have left stains
scars have become evident

smiles are now pained
and eyes show no emotion
silence has become louder
than any siren
and tears so many
stain blank pages

life has been heavy
we are all worn
smiles are now artificial
and eyes are tear filled

but we live on
although we are not living
but my dear we are only
surviving
