Angry Silence
Poems By Lynn Barany


There is an awesome silence
In the corner of my soul.
It wasn't there when I was young,
But I feel it as I grow old.

It's a word that was not spoken,
In my shyness, slipped away.
I should have made a statement,
But silence with me stayed.

I don't like the feeling
That is left within my being.
I try to show my anger,
But it's only pain I'm feeling.

I've tried many times
To express my point of view,
Only to be told
You're a silly little fool.

The only thing that I can say,
Is when I need to make a stand
Silence over takes my soul,
And shows my trembling hands.
