Tears shed in silence
A heart broken
Crying in pain
They do not see
The agony
Although it is
Before their eyes
Plain as day
Dark as night

Tears shed in silence
A heart shattered
Longing for peace
Inside starry eyes
A war rages
Bloody and cold
isolated, alone, afraid
yet they do not see
How can one fly
When frozen in fear

Tears shed in silence
Life slows down
To every second
Every moment
Drowned in tears
Trauma binding
Clawing an escape
Through the dark
Ever wandering
Yet never free

Tears shed in silence
They believe
What matters is school
When all that matters
Are scattered dreams
So I count my scars
Within the mirror
And follow my dreams
Until all that is left
Is tears
Shed in silence
