Silent and wanting to shout

She sits waiting

Wanting to scream

She wants to scream

Here I am!

Come find me

She wants to believe

That someone out there will love her

She just doesn't know how 

She doesn't believe she is

Worthy enough for love

She wants to run and cry

Wants to escape her shell

She doesn't want to 

Be afraid anymore

She is sick of fear

She wants to tell

The tormentors

I am me!

You will not hut me

She feels the courage building

But every time she hides instead

She remembers the words

The little remarks said to her

The snide comments about her

She remembers and is quiet

She sits in the back

She hides from the world

She hides and silently cries

Silently praying for a miracle

She just wishes it would stop

She considers many options

Many she knows is wrong

She only cracked once

After she tries to forget 

She looks at her arms

A constant reminder

She looks at her family

A constant pang

A rememberence of how

She came so close to losing them

She lives in her mind, forever being

A slave to herself

She fears she will go insane 

She has been struggling for years

She just wants to shout!
