The Scream of my Heart
06/06/06

As the walls press in and the noise crashes down
I push at the barriers and try to break free,
free of my mind and it's intermost thoughts
but mostly it's from the fear of myself

And the odd thing about it is the enemy in me
brandishing her sword and wrenching my gut
with the blood of another and saying it's mine,
the fault for the world and it's tyrannous corruptions

So as I collapse to the hole of my obscurity
a soft muffled sob ruptures the clods,
the dirt packed bars of the bain of my existence
that force me down at the drop of a hat

Crushing my heart it displaces my breath
pushing the fear of rejection inside
burrowing into my cavity of relief
it disrupts and freezes the blood in my veins

Thus causing my soul to freeze over and crack
and just by the slash of the knife to my back
the lights start to dim as the sirens blare through
just when I black out to the sound of a scream

This is such an emotional and heartbreaking description of the feelings that many of us share, but were unable to find the words to explain.
