Screams...

by Hollow Face   Oct 8, 2012


Have you ever wanted to scream,
but found yourself unable to?
All that... emotion bottled up inside,
filling you with anticipation for something,
anything.

You feel so unannouced,
so insignificant,
so utterly unimportant.
You want to scream in pain, or grief,
or maybe you just want to scream.
You can't bare to talk to even your closest friend,
you just have to have time to yourself.

The feeling hits you out of nowehere,
punching you in the stomach,
knocking the breath out of you shaky body,
your pulse quickening for no apparent reason.
You find yourself jumpy and that sudden impluse to scream.

Sometimes there is a reason.
Sometimes someone tells you something,
or you just witness a scene, and you just want to change it.
Change the world.
Change life.
You can't keep living as usual.
You have to scream.

Most people hide,
they hide from this urge,
this utter temptation.
They don't scream,
they tell themselves its just a phase,
a passing discomfort.
They hold in the screams,
and in the end,
it kills them.
