A Scream
Written April 24, 2002
A scream from deep within
Rises to the surface
Wanting to escape
Held back
Held tight
Silence
A scream of impatience
Waiting to be let out
Wanting to be heard
Held in
Held silent
Quiet
A scream held too long
Escapes from clenched lips
Echoing through the night
Powerful and yet powerless
Loud
Strong
Endless
A scream of release
Letting out things unsaid
Leaving a calmness
A scream
Needed
Freed
Done.

Ginger, you are right about that. Sometimes you do need to let it out before it builds up and escapes on its own in a way that may not be productive.
That felt good! ;)
Thank you, too, Necee!
