Land of Silence

All alone, on the verge of insanity
where everyone stands
screaming in silence
No one can hear
your cries loud as thunder
your tears pouring rain
your head feels like lightening
your heart is in pain
With every waking minute
The cries become stronger
For I have found I cant live
without you any longer
Suddenly you are heard
by the one above
As he offers you
joy and love
you then accept
with pleas of happiness
taking the joy upon you
and the love into your heart
for you are no longer alone
he is with you always, never apart
