Silent Screams
When someone yawns
I think to myself
Are they really tired
Or are they silently screaming
Most would think
They are sleepy
I hang on the thought
That they're crying for help
I
Know
I
Am
When I yawn
I'm silently screaming
I just cover it up
So no one knows I'm in pain
I put on a smile
To cover up the truth
'Cause it's not worth
Dragging my friends into
I try to deal with it
But sometimes it's too much
So my yawns eventually
Turn into cries of anger
Will anybody be able to hear me?
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
