A Silent Agony
A Silent Agony A quiet storms sieves my soul A silent agony brews within me Consuming deep the crevice of my soul Watching myself being eaten away... A silent cry: no mouth yet I must scream! Words uttered, words reserved, unused! Yet, louder the impact, so grievous. Unrelenting! I quietly watch myself eaten away Love! A burning consuming desire Hatred! An outcome of unbridled desire A cry for help... God! Dead silence echoes within me... A response rises Humanity! Nothing can be done, hopeless... A false assurance, a baseless hope! A smile in my eyes A tear on my lips... A Silent agony seeing myself eaten away... Yet, I cannot do anything about it Mutsawashe Ifechukwu 25/06/2026
