Scream

“Scream”
Have you ever had something to say?
Then the moment came and you just looked away.
Have you ever really wanted to try?
Then found all you could do was cry.
Have you ever just needed someone who could understand?
Someone who would take your hand and hold you close.
Have you ever had so much to say…
That the words got in your way.
Have you ever felt emotions so raw?
That it tore at your heart like it had claws.
In solitude you try to find comfort
Tears of anguish stream,
As once again you stifle the scream.

    The down side of the human condition,we harm ourselves by trying to control our emotions they are there for a reason.I go up to the mountains when I can no longer stifle the scream and just lose it .Funny how the animals don,t care.Regards.

    I have felt all those feelings that just seems to crush your soul and each time you want to cry out or even shout you can’t ….............. suffer in silence …......... people can accept but the longing to be loved and held is the only way out from the despair! Your words are so heartfelt and pure and thank you for these words as they help me too! – David :>))
