Silently Screaming
For World Mental Health day October 2020 A Poem by Molvia Maddox

Silently Screaming

So long now I have silently screamed

loud within, yet no one hears

NO ONE HEARS

…..a background noise to life

through smiles and laughter

a life lived in pain

.......there was a time I was quiet inside

carefree, laughter days

How things change; News delivered

shattering the glass case of my life

The illusion revealed – peace is not promised

Challenges not equal, life so fragile

a weight to be carried – for me it could not be moved

There is no answer, no cure, no magic

Just cold reality of what is

Of what has been

Of a life passed

Stunted before it could flourish? …. NO

It bloomed so brightly!

In the peace of acceptance

No questions…. but a thirst for haste

In knowing her days would be short

Time unknown - - - how different our minds?

My child so brave, and me so weak

She shone SO brightly, she sang her days……

but me, screaming through every year

Strangling the cries within

A face hiding the fear and pain

She conquered! ……how proud was I

though always knowing she would leave me

such a torturous knowledge – no escape

No cure you see, no fairness….

She embraced her last sleep in peace

And my screams pierced my soul

.........Yet no one hears

No passes out of this life for me

Each day to be lived with the noise

Silent to all around me

They see the smiles

They see the smiles

They only want to see the smiles

They don’t hear

They don't listen

They don’t know

I will never feel peace again…

.....inside I silently scream
