scream..A Poem i wrote today

i often write poetry..im not great but it expresses my feelings well and helps me to get them out..i find it hard to say how i feel without using poetry..
so here you go..

Scream

The silenece is shattered
The screams ring out
i wish for the calm before the storm
But all within me shouts..

my screams never heard
No matter how loud
It just merges in
with the rest of the crowd

my voice is failing
the fears suppressed
I have no clue
How to work through the rest

The screams get louder
Can no one hear..
I scream and scream
Still no where near

no one hears just what i say
I could scream and scream til my dying day

my voice not heard
not important
the feelings and screams
locked within
when will anyone stop this din

I long for peace..
within my self
Quiet and calm
on this dusty shelf

I stand here within
This huge hole
Screams just eating
away at my soul

where is the peace that i so request
i long for it daily
not in jest

i long for quiet within my head
To hear my own thoughts
Instead of the rests

when will i be me again
in stead of the voice within the crowd
instead of that scream not heard
no matter how loud..

Hi, great poem

Thanks for sharing. I write poetry and thought I would share with you too. Hope you are doing well and having a good weekend. Kimberly


No one said that life was easy or a path that’s clean and clear.

No one said that with a smile, there didn’t come a tear.

Yesterday is over it’s time to carry on. Time to bury the sorrow, grow and to be strong.

Everyone has tried to express their love. Everyone has asked for help from up above.

Neither us or God can help you – it has to come from you. To really help yourself is what you need to do.

It doesn’t matter how much we love you or how much we pray. It all depends on if you’ll wake up today.

Look at what drugs and alcohol has taken….your very existence they have shaken.

But does it matter? For they want your soul, to completely take your life is their one and only goal.

To watch you slip further and further away….it brings me to tears each and every day.

The joy you bring to my child’s eyes, life without you would bring heavy sighs.

But I’m done preaching and I’m done crying.

Now it’s up to you to do the trying.

Be sure of one thing that will ALWAYS be, you have the love of your family.

We Love you.
