silent crying

by Antwan Fields - Aries

hugging my knees to my chest tears rolling down my face
i didn't do anything, i keep repeating while they flow
i cry silently because if i cry loud i will be hurt again
i hide my face to keep the fists away
the silent weeping that convulses my body
i cry into my thigh, not letting my body betray my sobs
the fists pummel my body and i take it, the sobs becoming louder even as i try to silence myself so he will not see me
cry without lifting my head, i do not raise it, i refuse to let it happen, no matter what
im still weeping, i try not to weep
until i lie down and fall asleep
