Are all screams audible? Are all screams conspicuous? Can everyone perceive it? Have you ever recognized a silent scream? Do you silently scream?

The very first concrete definition that we know is the loud, high-pitched sonic quality known as scream. People scream when they are in emotional distress or in a fearing situation. Children scream when they are deprived of their toys. Some people scream because they have seen cockroaches. Again, some people scream in joy. Moreover, we see people screaming in markets while bargaining. But there are some silent screams which be heard never or seen. Some screams are too difficult to perceive or to relate. They are extremely deep inside people captured in chambers of heart.

There are so many shrieks buried inside humans and they are carrying every time. People are so good at faking those screams which are never meant to be seen or heard. We have designed ourselves to filter and bottle all those screams in one shell and never meant to let it go. Sometimes laying a day in bed and watching television will minimize the amplitude of the scream. But do we do it? We try to design ourselves in some other form, into some other entity that is never meant for us. Silent screams get louder when people can no longer take the baggage anymore. They either put them off or hold them tightly until they destroy themselves. People sitting next beside you could have silent screams which are dark and inconspicuous. Lend an ear to listen to those. There is an illusion that is haunting us day to day as if we are okay with being ourselves, but it is not. We are living in an era where people barely sit down calmly and listen to others. We have become such people who listen to speak and defend themselves, but we don't listen to make them heard, felt or seen. The silent screams are bold and heavy to have and very difficult to share. Close your eyes for a moment and think whether you are listening to those silent screams which can define you. Breathe in and breathe out for an instant and make yourselves calm when the world of screams is falling apart. The momentous feeling is precious.

Feel the air, inhale the art, and exhale its beauty. If you can hear your silent screams, you can hear other ones too. Humans are made to express but not to conceal. Screams get louder more and more if we hold it excessively. The inaudible, dark, and heavy screams are inside all of us. Don't be a friend who shows off but be a friend who listens, shares and cares for others. In this competitive world people barely make others seen and heard but the silent screams made the existence of themselves more evitable.
