Silent Screams


Lost is a voice in a frenzy of screams
Unheard is the tale of its delicate dreams
Stifled it lives in veiled confines
Strange how its existence your mind slowly declines
Lulled into silence by constant denial
Surprising is the effect it has on your survival
A million arguments at point moot
The most meaningful one though remains mute
Evolve! Change! to keep up they say
Frayed psyche has become the order of the day
Acceptance of self is your only elixir
Don't let a day come when your mirror reflects a stranger
Opinions aplenty around you are scattered
That tiny muffled voice is the only that matters
When someone listens to your rant
Of your luck you're convinced
Yet blessed I believe
If they understood your silence
Relying forever on the crutches of others' assurance
Ever will you embrace your own intelligence
Contentment and peace shall surely gleam
Only if you could listen to your own silent screams

Some of my fav lines here:
Frayed psyche has become the order of the day,
Acceptance of self is your only elixir.

Should I say "apt" or "opportune"?

These words do reflect my thought's streams,
So what if they were only silent screams!
