I’m Quiet

I’m quiet
And silent
Whisper softly
Tread gently
But deep inside
There’s a storm
So very near
Waiting and watching

I’m quiet
And hush
Mumble lightly
Walk in silence
But in my eyes
Unseen tears flow
Rolling down my cheeks
No longer can wait

I’m quiet
And wordless
Hurt deep inside
Wail in silence
Without a sound
The grinding agony
Throbbing of my heart
A quiet storm in my heart
