Poetry

---

The pain is so severe
I have cried so long
That my cries are silent now

God do You still hear me
Are You listening to my cries
When will Your answers come

I have asked for so long
No more words do I have
Only my silent cries now

Those near me are tired of my tears
They run from what they do not understand
I cannot run or even walk away

God help me to stay strong
Not to show my fears
To keep my smile for others to see

Help me to keep my cries silent
To stay strong and brave
Why I wait on Your answer to my cries
