Silent Tears

by Abigail Caudle aged 13

It is a silent night
A starlit gaze
Everywhere around me
Booming so loud

Can you hear me?
Do you even care?
Or do people only notice
When I disappear?

Dogs barking
Cats that scream
Everything so deafening
So obscene

When I yell
It seems like nobody sees me
But when you cry
Everyone comes rushing

Roses that bloom
Flowers that fall
Goes all around
Every year

Just like me
I can’t help it
Is this what life is like?
Is this what dying is like?

Or is it just me?
Am I the problem?
Soaring so high
Then crashing so low

Questions all around
I am wondering
Curious about the dynamics
Screaming
Trembling
If I die will people like me?

Hope soaring so high
Make my own path
Pushing back
All the thoughts

I don’t blame you
But I am going to leave now
Silent tears
Everyday

This is the end
Goodbye, dear sister
I know
I love you

You are the favorite
So go away now
I will make my own life
Goodbye

(I love you,
Silent tears)
