The Sound of Silence

"A Raging Fire" by Simone Riley
Oh pain! I feel you more than I may show.
My silent tears just wanting to be heard,
Slide down my cheek to darkness way below,
Yet I shall speak to no one, not a word.
The fear of showing feelings to my friends
Engulfs all of me like a raging sea.
Alas, music must be the only cleanse;
the soft and calming hum does set me free.
But real friends will love me despite my pain,
And be my rock when I just want to go.
Why fear? After the cold and sting of rain,
There shall follow a bright, hopeful rainbow.
Though my heart begs for love to no avail,
My God shall hold me tight and never fail.
