Must I be insane?
For I am always in pain

I need to know, what is it like
To be in pain and not feel insane
What is it like to not feel
To for once, not care
And dare to scream in agony
Scream in anger
Scream, for my depression
Scream, for my shattered dreams
Scream for my life
Scream to die
Scream to ease the pain
Scream to have my peace of mind
And scream to be sane.

No longer do I know what I write
What I feel
What I am
What I am supposed to be
And what I am supposed to do.

I am tired and depressed
For many years ago
I have not been the same
Which is why it is easy
To get lost within myself.

I am, only a mere reflection
Of friends and people
I have met in the past
The days go by fast, when you know
That your time is running short

Never again will I be the same
And as the days go by
One question will always remain

Who am I?

SCREAM--SCREAM--SCREAM!! Wow, I loved this, we all need to do that once in a while. There should be "scream rooms" everywhere, and I'm not being facetious. Thanks for the great read.

Well there is a scream room here in Passions, 'The Alley'.  Wonderful work Rene and glad you are home again.  Your time in the sun is just around the corner hon, just keep plugging, hopeing and loving, it'll come *hugs*

 At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen....
It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart....

Who Am I? that is the question, well kid looking in the mirror doesn't help, maybe looking inside?
We never really know this answer because it only manifest when we die,
Who am I, is what I leave behind. Memories from friends, loves, ideas, poems, words.
Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

~Wow,...I'll scream with you.  This is an emotionally wonderful piece...very expressive.  I am still asking myself that same question...it's a journey to the answer...it's also everything Joel said. .

All I have to say is, Sometimes you just have to SCREAM as loud as possible!  I've done it, and it's a great stress reliever.  
I definetly relate.
