Hidden Whispers, Silent Pain

A.M. Morgan
Pain doesn't always speak in words

Eyes relay the messages of a voice unheard

Teardrops symbolically fall to calm unsettling nerves

And sooner or later feelings of self doubt emerge

Because it gets harder to escape the hidden cry of a lost soul

Can't walk away or hide from the truth

For footsteps even silently sing the blues

Don't judge or meddle with the accused

For life has a mind of its own

While trouble visits whomever it chooses too

Listen if you will to the hidden whispers

Buried behind a mask of Silent Pain

    I like the original and strong style of your writing here. That poster or illustration is a nice companion to it.
