My screams will be muffled by the voice of reality Living in a world with a life too close to domesticality They won't understand the temptation to escape and run away from what is comfortable and normal I need to break away; Give me space I rely on what I have, what I've been given, and what I will never get in order to run my mind in some kind of orderly fashion that has to make sense I want to turn my head around and face the back of my life and run forward into whatever wall might happen to have been built there I want the side of my face to show the mark of a girl who didn't care and did what she wanted to do I want to know who lives inside this body and what she really thinks when she isn't protected by her mommy When the only voice she hears is her own and the only words she goes by are hers and hers alone What do I see when I close my eyes and think of things I love and need It's not that I don't love you, it's not that I don't need you But my chest hurts from your arm holding me back each time I try to take that step My mind hurts from trying to convince myself that I have control of what hurts me I need to scream and not be suffocated by the hands of reality and domesticallity It's driving me crazy so come get me |

Well, Julie, I left my little white coat in the other room, but you need to know, venting like this is a good thing. We'll come to get you, all right, if just to continue reading your poetry!  |
