Silently fall

This world is roaring, in all its madness.
Everyone is shouting in her face.

Her heart is breaking, this dull aching.
That doesn’t look like it’s going away.

And yet, she stands frightened and alone.
She lets her tears silently fall.

For she knows that no one will listen.
To what she has to say.

She wants to tell them that it wasn’t her fault.
She didn’t want to be this way.

But that’s the way that the world turns.
And she had to remake herself this way.

And so she stands. Frightened and silent.
She lets her tears silently fall.

With no one to catch them
And no one to wipe them.
She stands tall, bent but not broken.
She lets let them silently fall.
