silence left to its own devices breeds silence
but even when you leave me screaming
words still do not pass through your lips

friends go out,
i stay in,
hear them shout,
hear me win,
here they come,
there i go,
lost in the dark place
i call home.
you can interpret this poem however you'd like.

There's no way to explain it.
There's nothing I can say.
The world moves on without me.
I cannot leave this day.

I'm trapped within it's barriers
There's no way to get out.
And no one seems to hear me
When I yell and scream and shout.

For once in my life I want to be happy
happy and hopeful and confident
I want to not beat myself down before anything can happen
Or repeatedly remind myself that it's "probably nothing"
I want to go to bed and not worry that I said the wrong thing
or that I'm thinking too much
Or not enough.
I want to not feel like my feelings
(or my heart)
are too much
I want to not have to feel like I need
to squelch my wants and my hopes and my dreams
because if I dare to reach for them I am going to get smacked for thinking that any of that is something I could ever have.
I want to not feel scared of letting myself love.
I want to not feel scared to be authentic in my current existence.
I want to be allowed to shout who I am and how I feel
from where ever I want.
But that's not the world we live in.
I can't.
I can't fly up too high or too close to the sun.
People who fly too close to the sun get burned and fall to their deaths.
The sun doesn't let things hug it.
It doesn't want a friend.
Not even another sun.

If I stay
s  i  l  e  n  t,
will you talk to me again?

You came home one day
With obvious anger in your face
I was worried, I asked if you were fine
But then suddenly, you crossed the line

I didn't know what happened
But what erupted was an argument
You didn't hide the anger you've been keeping
I knew you were angry and every night I was dying

You were  shouting, you were yelling
My tears were rapidly flowing
You walked out the door
And I  collapsed to the floor

I'm crying, I'm shivering
Inside, I am dying
And now I'm screaming loud
Because you aren't proud
You guys probably think that it's also incomplete. I think it is, too. For those people who've been battered and bruised, physically or emotionally,  don't ever worry; just continue your story because I believe in every story, there's always a part where the main character falls but he/she will rise to the top :)
Shout onto the wind
Yet none will hear
A tangled mind
Full of fear
Scream to your consent
Till throat is raw and red
But what will it have meant
If to nothing it has led

Trouble, love...
You drown me in
Quick
Beats;
Palpitations of my
Red *****.
My waters run for you.

Tied with
Ribbons of
Silk,
I shout proclamations
To the clouds who
Threaten to rain on us.
Alexa Dark Nov 2014
Silence is screaming at me.
It's shouting so loud
I can even hear my own thoughts.
And maybe it's better...
Raise your voices high
Lift your banner to the sky
Shout what you believe.
