Yelling and Screaming
She stares at the Ceiling
Trying desperatly to make out
The words that are breaking
Her parents apart.
But at the same in the back
Of her mind praying to God
To make them stop.
Louder and louder its shattering
Her sound bearer.
Grabbing her pillow to muffle
Her cries she holds her breath.
Searching for a way out
She grabs a flashlight, opens her
Window and disappears into the night.
She can't see, her eyes adjust
To the circling misty darkness
Surronding her.
Feet moving, mind racing,
Before she knows it, she has become
Lost, not realizing just how far she's
Gone.
Going to turn back, she can see
The white light off in the
Distance.
Hating whats inside, A broken home,
Knowing the fear, pain and smiles
That disguise it all.
Separating herself right there in
The cold, she cant decide what to do.
Does she go back and continue to
Mark her ceiling or does she turn
The other way.
Away from the only things she has
Ever known.
Her heart stops beating, her mind
Stops racing, her palms stop
Sweating.
She turns off the flashlight.
And runs
In the opposite direcion.

This is a nice example of how the words form the image. I saw the words in my mind and they painted a picture...this is what poetry is about in my opinion. Good job.
