Silent scream.

Silent scream.

There is a place where darkness dwells
Hidden , concealed from view.
My oppressor , my madness, my silent scream,
This I keep from you.

A little girl once had a heart filled with joy.
Brave new warrior forging ahead.
No sign of the blackness that haunts me now,
Childish wonder and awe both now dead.

I see the abyss but I don\'t want to fall,
Or to drown in a lake of despair.
I don\'t want to stay but not ready to go,
Scared to hope and yet frightened to care.

The world that I once saw as bright has turned black,
And destruction is all I can see.
Where money and greed are leaching the life.
Where one can no longer just ... Be.

I wasn\'t prepared for the darkness I found.
Alas I was sold a cruel lie.
It\'s a world where war and power reign
And innocent children die.

I want to shout, implore and cry ,
My friend this is not the way.
Man is not here to cause damage or harm
But instead to find joy in each day .

This is the scream that lies silent within.
The horror of mankind laid bare.
My madness, my sadness, my desolation.
My fading fabric of care .
