silent scream

“Silence is the most powerful scream.” -Eastern philosophy


Silent Scream is a collection of poetry that highlights the trauma experienced by a young girl silently suffering from undiagnosed mental illnesses. It is divided into sections focusing on different times, similar pains, and one common enemy. This moving debut poetry collection explores the author’s journey from her silent screams to healing and identity.

In each stanza,
Lies my blood,
Drained from my trauma,
Replenished by their karma.
Not part of some model,
Nor free,
My battle rages on,
This is me...

J.M. Morgan is a poet and creative writer based in the United States. She released her debut poetry collection, silent scream, in 2021.
