No One Knows
HMRyan 1977 (New York)
As I sit with this person
I often wonder,
How did she become so aloof?
Why so tranquil?
Who is she?
Day after day the same routine
Day after day the same depressing face
For she aches for self-acceptance
Unspoken misery lives within
The terror she feels
It is I!
It is I, that no one knows!
It is I, that does not feel!
This silent illness,
Stricken with grief, suffering and torture
Anger fills my emotions
Despair weakens my soul
It is I, that no one knows!
