Silent Tears

by Heather, Virgo - Not entered

A thunderous silence
breaks through my thoughts.
What was once many great ideas
is now a triumph, lost.

Baffling words tumble through my mind.
Reflections of darkness hover.
A disturbing peacefulness beckons to me,
and inside myself, I take cover.

What would it be like to stay there forever?
To be lost in all my cares?
From the inside, looking out-
I cry silent tears.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem at a very bad time in my life.  I was insecure and afraid to express my feelings.  I kept it all bottled up, and then I would go into a private room and cry.  I was always afraid to let anyone see me cry because when I did, I was rediculed and punished.  I've learned never again to fear my own feelings.
