Description
How many of us are suffering in silence?Does anyone believe that the other person cares? That they will listen and do something, anything?
How many of us are suffering in silence?
So much that we are rendered mute, eyes to the ground, ashamed of looking up, not having the confidence to even look at ourselves, believe what is honestly right, and stand up for what we believe in.
How many of us are suffering in silence?
Our 'rights'; continuously t h r a s h e d like what someone calls a 'thing' and you a 'body', a 'heart', a 'life'.
Our 'freedom'; [incarcerated] no longer a human being, but a 'thing' that doesn't exist and isn't even worthy of the liberty to see, hear, taste, touch and smell.
Our 'happiness'; where we don't (can't) have a conscious thought to dream of those days, cling onto those dreams, because we are too busy surviving just one. more. day.
How many?
How many of us are living through the {S C R E A M I N G} pain every minute?
Every. Single. Minute.
How many?

Indeed... I think it's an issue that pops up often in our lives.
Thanks for the comment.

Beautifully written. It's so sad what goes on in this world. You'd think that every person that causes such pain has a heart as well, maybe it's been emptied, hallowed or blackened but that gives no excuse. Thank you for a piece that draws on awareness, attention, and sensitivity.

Yes.. maybe. There are all sorts of reasons there. =/
It's awkwardly written. I can still remember that.
But thank you.

Really? I still feel as if this is quite awkward.
Thank you.

What's awkward? Your creation, or my comment?
I think it's not awkward. I think it's from the heart. Nothing's wrong with that.

The creation. Your comments are never awkward.

I see. 
Thanks. Your comments are never awkward either! The opposite!

Aww..
I can't say I'm too fond of this piece, actually. It feels a bit too stilted for me, but I am glad you like it?

It's a bit rough, but I know a few people who live in similar scenarios, probably I shouldn't use the word "Live" more like "living dead".

The tone sounded sad.
It broke my heart, it did.
Aw, elaine.
Don't worry, you can scream any time you
want, I won't let them stop you.

*Sniff* Beautiful, the effects you added to the words made it even more easy to feel... how to put it? ...to feel the impact of each word crashing into a sentence, into a true hearted story.
I, for my part, found it like a sad truth.
You're quite a story teller.

It's still a bit rough, this piece... Or rather, I don't feel proud of it. =/
Thanks a lot, though!

I don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said. Very powerful writing on a subject that, unfortunately all too often, gets swept under the carpet.

Everyone suffers and it is our doom to unwittingly make others suffer. These are our karmic roles in life. Without that we could never experience happiness. (imho)

Interesting...
So a sort of balance?

This is really powerful. I think more of an impact is made when reading this rather than hearing someone say it out loud. I have to say this is my favorite line:
"How many of us are living through the {S C R E A M I N G} pain every minute?"
The emphasis on different words makes this a very dramatic and thoughtful piece.

I think of...mother Teresa. A woman was lying dying in the streets, people passing her by, no one caring. Mother Teresa took her in until she died in her chapel that night. There was a man picked off the street that said, "I have lived life like an animal, but I die like an angel, warm and loved." There was a woman with a starving family, whom mother Teresa had brought rice to. The mother divided up the rice and gave it to their neighbors saying they were hungry too. We are materialistic, but to be loved, to love in return, and to share that love, is all that is ever really needed. We buy things to feel whole, because we are lonely, but those who suffer in silence, don't know this, and so instead, spread love.

That is... really interesting.
Thank you so much for sharing that. I must admit that I couldn't see how what you said related to this piece.. but I get what you mean.

I know this piece is about abuse after reading the comments, but I can read it also about depression where people suffer in silence, or people certified as mentally ill, and condemned by society resulting in isolation and no self worth.
Who really cares or understands?
Good piece. Profound

That's really interesting.
I think everyone can interpret this differently. I like that about art.
Indeed... It makes you wonder, here and now. >.<
Thank you for the comment.

I'm a sociology major and so to me this draws a lot of parallels to what I've been learning.
As a matter of fact did you know that Labor is considered a commodity. How is it possible to have rights in a society that considers the work someone does more valuable then there actually human worth.
Well that's just what I think.

Ah... Sociology is interesting. I must say that I personally prefer psychology over sociology.
That is a really interesting thought.
Makes you think that... thank you for sharing and commenting.
