SILENCE

The silence within me carries with it,
More then just the tears of a life meant to be
... a life that will never be.

My silence ... has a sound of it's own.

It carries the fear and sorrow,
It carries the screams and the violence
... the hopelessness and the dispair.

My silence ... a sound only I can hear;

Carries a child and her shattered innocence,
Her lost hopes and unfulfilled dreams
... her broken heart and empty soul.

My silence ... is the sound of the unwanted.

My silence carries with it,
More then just a life meant to be
... a life that will never be.

My silence ... carries me.
