Silent Scream

Resentment

One letter word

Yet a very powerful feeling

That can enslave any one

Even me

I feel its pangs

piercing my very soul

and like a venom poisoning me to the core

how does it happen?

It’s unexplainable

I thought of me like a formidable fortress

That would never collapse despite the outside pressure

Yet, I am mistaken – a false pretence

For it only takes ingratitude,

Indifference, utter disregard and apathy

To weaken my highly spirited self.

I’m sobbing within

A scream so silent that no one hears

Feigned by smiles and laughters

to hide inner pain.
