This is a short yet touching piece of poetry which conveys the unidentified pain of those who cannot express it…

What you want to convey?

By not uttering a word

 That your eyes do say

In this blind world!!

People don’t want to hear

As for them you are lame

But for me you are the same!

They don’t know what you have faced

By helping people far with grace

And even those you someday helped

Now far away from you have fled.

And still you never looked timid

But were upright

With courage infinite

Leaving difficulties out of sight

With happiness atop

You stood up with a hope

That someday they’d come

&borrow your sorrow

But no one has turned up yet

And you still are full of vision

That fills me with respect

For you and your reason

& you still don’t utter a word

But your wet eyes

Convey what you want to speak

With a falling tear

I can hear it, oh dear!

    Very nice. I’d suggest you use the word ‘betray’ in the title in the place of ’shed’.
