Silent Screams

This poem describes the feeling of an internal battle or when you need to release your feelings and can't describe what to say.

I can't find the words to explain
my head is a mess of emotions.
Nothing can make me better
because I am too broken..

deep, deep inside.

Writing is my reliever
because I can get some words out.
But it is also my stressor.

I need the words before my head explodes.
I scream out loud,
scream for help,
but it isn't heard

because I don't know how.

My face remains stoic, heart cold,
while my thoughts scream silent screams.
An internal battle rages
and nothing ceases the fire.

I don't want to stop writing
because I can finally get some screams out.
But I start to just repeat my words....

repeat, repeat,
repeat...

repeat...

repeat...

repeat, repeat..

repeat..

repeat............

I get into a trance,
don't want to stop,
need to relieve the tension.

My head threatens to burst
and I want to yell
and SCREAM at the world

because that is the only thing that will help.

I can't think straight,
everything is a jumble,
nothing makes sense,
and nobody knows.

My face masks the pain and torture
that is evident in my heart and soul.
Head pounding and heart in tune,
angry drum beats.

Please.
Just let me

SCREAM.
