It's right there, infront of you,

The silent cries very few pickup on,

The rest oblivious,

How can you not see? It's right there,

Sometimes the most obvious, is the most hidden.



I just don't get how you can't hear me,

Your daughter, son, silently screaming,

Abused child, misfit, outcast, loser, crying,

The marks, hidden, concealed, but right there,

There but you never see, never look, don't even notice.



I'm not the only person like this, it's not unreal,

It's there, happening, and you don't even see it,

Everyone ignores me, nobody's listening,

It's all so clear, why can't you see it?

I wish to be somewhere I belong.



Afraid to tell people what i'm thinking,

Scared to confide in someone,

Not even my friends know,

Take all my shame, pain, and hurt to the grave,

Lost inside a world of tears with you.



Inside i'm confused and hurt,

Nobody's listening to my silent cries,

Marks bleeding infront of you,

Can you see me crying?

Can you hear my silent cries now?!



Tried to tell you, called clearly to you,

Tried to show you, but you wouldn't look,

Wouldn't listen to me, my cries,

Every second that goes by is worse,

Never being what's expected of me.



Hoping someone will hear me cry,

But no-one ever does, no-one hears,

That's only because, my cries are silent,

Nobody's listening and i'm crying, crying for help,

Why won't you listen and help me?!
