My Silent Scream...

Someone as beautiful as me,
Should be treated ...beautifully!!
This is my silent scream.

After seeing no one cares... I sulk, I sink...slowly,
Waiting to see who responds with compassion,
Waiting to see who responds with impact,
...No one, no one at all, in fact.

Falling further away from beauty,
Back into my ugly carcass,
Of shame and intimidation,
I look for a safety, a compass
-_- ...There is none.

My anger grows exponentially,
How could they not hear my silent scream?
But then, it subsides, because I now realize,
They all are nieve.
They need me to be strong,
So strong is what I need to be.

...For spirit, for beauty, ...for me!!

This is my silent scream,
That I scream so silently.
