The Quiet Screams The Truth

by Still Slightly Broken   Feb 27, 2009


Cutting like a razor, the silence takes hold
Replacing this artificial confidence with nothing but cold
Tearing away everything you once thought to be true
And leaving the reflection with something that formerly looked like you

You can grab at the past and pray for return
But nothing is undoing this final crash and burn
These memories are stronger than you will think
And they won't go away, no matter how much you drink

Their hungry cries and bleeding stares
Aren't worth screaming about, no one really cares
So listen to the silence and throw away your youth
Because you know as well as I do that the quiet screams the truth

    I thought the title was excellent, and finding it again at the end of your poem was great.
    A bit confusing at first.. but following along you find the emotion put in there. I like the metaphors you put in, simple, but enough to give the image wanted
    keep writing ^^
