Thoughts of Sanity

Pain and sorrow
Misery and grief
Silently fall
Like a withered leaf

The empty windows
And boarded up doors
Are only covers
For the open sores

Feeling abandoned
So lost and afraid
Their relatives left them
And here they stayed

Sanity was tested
And so many failed
In this shadow
Their souls were jailed

A plea for help
Can sometimes be heard
Without a sound
Or a single word

Open your mind
And you will hear
What tortured souls
Have to fear

Being forgotten
They silently scream
We are here
We're not just a dream
