I scream out day by day, crying night after night,

But no one hears my cries, muffled by your actions,

By your words and by so-called love you claim.

When I scream, a void is created,

An empty hole with no end in sight,

My mouth opens, screaming from the bottom

Of this endless pit, yet no one hears my cries.

Pain so deep, there’s no surface in view,

No voice loud enough for you to hear,

Tears that fill up the Nile will never be enough.

When will the suffering end? Yet you see nothing,

Feel nothing, hear nothing.

You don’t hear my cries, my heart breaking day by day,

You don’t see the volume of tears I shed.

Day by day, I cry, day by day, I kneel praying,

Yet I hear nothing from the heavens,

So I scream out with all that’s left within me,

But no one hears my cries, neither heaven nor my family.

When does it end?

I cry.

When is it enough?

I break apart.

When will I be accepted?

I’m shattered.
