Echoing Silence

The same smiling girl,
At night has eyes filled with tears ;
She would have nightmares,
Which were sufficed with her fears ;
No one heard her silent plead,
To help her when she was in need ;
As she falls deep into the dark hole,
With no light left in her soul ;

No one saw the little girl,
Who silently wept ;
As everyone cat called her fat,
No one raised their voice ;
When they saw the boy getting bruised,
No one could tell that at home he was abused ;

No one reacted to the snide remark,
About her skin being dark ;
No one saw her smile dim,
When they teased her for being limp ;

No one saw her mental scars,
As for them, she was a beauty too far ;
They didn't care that their humorous joke,
Made someone's heartbreak ;

As one says that life is not a twinkling star,
Everyone has some scar ;
I think so it's far too true,
That you don't know what it is in another's shoe ;

So be happy if have someone by your side,
As life is a hellish ride.
