Screaming hysterically
Pleading
For someone to hear
The pounding words of yearning live only in my mind
My mouth stays still
Lips locked in place
As tears drip silently down my face
Like wax sliding down a candles edge
As the flame flickers
I feel my light being blown
into nothingness
The screams in my mind grow desperate
as dark clouds vail my once excited eyes
I stare forward
No sparkle in sight
The shouting grows angrier
Thoughts roaring for release
My dreams
My hopes
Stay stuck in my throat

HEAR ME

Feelings of rage run through me
No outlet for my worries
Round and round they go
like a carousel on steroids
I need to release
But my voice is no more
Furious thoughts stay locked in my head
Racing and shouting without a way forward
Words never spoken
Lost without a trace
My mind grows full
Pressure building
Ready to burst

I pick up the .....
And ... my life
