My Cries Within. Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Prudence, South Africa Mar 8, 2007
Human Rights   Poetry

  

Let's see
Where do I begin?
Right
Here.

They say that a person is defined by their smile.
I smile.
Always.
In fact, they even call me Smiley
But do they know?

I smile to hide my fears and deep within, I cry
I cry within me so that nobody else can see my pain.
Nobody else can take the blame.
My cries within, are silent.

I cry whilst you laugh,
but that's nothing.
That's nothing.
I cry my silent cries
with no one to wipe my tears
because I cry within.

I've cried again
and
again,
without anyone hearing.
I've cried because of a man
who
should have been my protector
but instead became my abuser.
I've cried because of what he's done,
because of his devilish ways.
These are my silent cries.

I cry for a world that never came.
I've cried beause of promises that were never fulfilled.
These are my cries within.
