This Silent Horror that lies within me
Has taken me over and won’t set me free.
It envelopes, covers, and smothers me so,
From the tips of my hair down to my toes.
No one knows the struggle within
The darkness comes again and again.
All around I see light and happiness
But inside lies a total complete mess.
My emotions fill me with darkness and despair
They envelope my body everywhere.
I need help! I need help! My mind cries out!
The silence is so great, I can’t even shout.
Run away, run away, run away far!
Take a train, a bus, or even a car!
No matter where I go, my “friend” is always with me
This Silent Horror that won’t see me free.
