You've Got To Scream

You've Got To Scream

A Poem by Mim
"

Remember, to appreciate the silence, you have to scream

"

We must appreciate the coarser parts of life,

Endings can be just as beautiful as the beginning

Starts and finishes may be all you remember

But I’ve always preferred the in-betweens

 

True understanding is more than the definition of one thing.

It is also the definition of another,

The understanding of how one brings about another,

And seeing how they build upon each other.

You must be more than one thing,

To truly be anything.

You must lose, to learn the lesson,

But the lesson you learn is that you’ve lost nothing.

 

I scratch and pick until I bleed,

Because it’s important to know at which point you break

How can you know where to draw the line, if you’ve never pushed it?

Who says the line we draw must be straight?

Bend it till it suits you, never bend yourself to fit.

 

The beauty of nature is not just life…

But death

You cannot have just one thing,

Without the rest.

True art is not in a museum,

But outside your back door.

Religion lives not above,

But within, and all around you.

 

Never forget to notice,

How the haves mean so much more to the have nots.

Never forget…

You’ve got to scream till you appreciate the silence

Run until sleeping is a gift

Got to lose to learn to love what you have

If you don’t respect the pieces �" how can you love the whole?

 

Your heart must be broken to value the gentle hand that puts it back together.

Analgesics are lost on those who have no pain,

Only the tortured truly appreciate peace.

The best part of creating �" is breaking it all down again and again

We are nothing but the pieces…

The pieces make the beauty �" the beauty makes the thing.

 

And if I could give just one thing to you

It would be the knowledge that nothing matters more or less than you think it does

And that your perception of life is what makes it real

We are not born �" but self created

Be wary of who you create yourself to be

And always, always remember

…to appreciate the silence

    …you have to scream
