No One Listened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i went about my life
around and around
happy, but
a disease is growing
manifesting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with
eyes always upon me
secrets kept
eventually
rages surface
scars
scabs
a cluttering of bruises<\/p>\n\n\n\n

shame<\/p>\n\n\n\n

glances only
no one will face me
i am screaming, inside
no one listened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

faded time
sleeping smiles awaken
visual signs, vanished
still screaming inside
solid looks
into my eyes
talking at me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a return<\/p>\n\n\n\n

around and around
eyes upon me
rage is reborn
scars
scabs
a cluttering of bruises
blood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

shame<\/p>\n\n\n\n

glances only
no one will face me
i am screaming, inside
no one listened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

faded time
cycling and cycling
rage
over and over
years and years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

no one listened, not i<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the price?
till the end of time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

silence destroyed
silence imprisoned<\/p>\n\n\n\n

us all<\/p>\n\n\n\n
