It is the pain that I wake to...
Perhaps, it has been left there to remind me
That this could not have been just a dream.


It is the sound of my owned tortured screams...
Which echo again and again
Shattering what remains of my mind.


It is these thoughts, my fragmented thinking
And it refuses to leave me
Haunting me, caught in this snare.


It is the agony of being made to suffer
Suffer this endlessly
The pain is so unforgiving now.


It is the tears that i have tasted
Nothing more has escaped this
Not me, i am kept by the angst now.


It is knowing that i have only died in my dreams
And that when i sleep
i must wake to this...here, in this life.

Sad. Yet the more I read it, the more I felt that you are starting to come out of the shade, and into a warming light.
Peace.
And WELCOME to Passions.

Shade:

This was a good piece.  It too hit home, subjectively.

I must wonder about your line "It is the sound of my owned tortured screams..."
Are you trying to say "my own tortured screams" or is there something beyond that, which necessitates the use of "owned" instead?

Just a thought.  Anyhow, welcome to DP and Passions.

Thanks for the post! I understand what your asking about the my "owned tortured screams" I don't know that I can explain my answer very well.  I feel like I'm terrible at expressing myself, but...it's actually in reference to the screams of others, which tend to haunt me.  Every bit as much as my own, others that were involved in my past.  Made to suffer along side me.  I say 'owned' because..well..my screams...they belong to me. And the others, they don't even want to confront the reason that they ever screams. As I said, I'm sure the explaination won't make much sense.

I completely understand.  I too own a few screams.  I have a dark past in some respects.
