Louder Than Bombs
The weight on my shoulders becomes too much to carry
My footfalls become slower with more time between them
The tears cascading down my face are no longer warm and comforting
But rather cold and empty like ice.

I try my best and do my part
But I’m nothing without you telling me what I’m supposed to do
Tell me where do go, order what I’m supposed to say
Without you, I’m lost in my own free will.
The sobs stir in my throat but no one hears
And then when the weight becomes too much
I break.

I fall apart like shattered glass and there’s no one to pick me up
They walk by like there’s no problem as if I’m not screaming out in pain
Begging for someone to help me
To tell me where to go
What to say
Who to be
Louder

Yet no one hears a thing and I lay there, the life slowly draining out of me
No one hears my silent pleas or my inaudible prayers
God doesn’t reach down and help me
Instead, He turns his back on me, unwilling to see my tortured reality
No one hears
No one sees
Yet here I die,
Slowly
And
Painfully,
And
Louder
Than
Bombs
