Choose either my screams or my silence
How come I had nothing to say?
What do you say when language has not
Created the words to express this emotion, cannot
Understand the depth of all you feel, will not
Comfort nor explain nor
Ease any pain from your mind, heart, or soul
A scream, all anguish, all pain is all
I can usher from my throat every
Day, night, and always I feel it bubbling
At the back of my mouth
Held behind the confines of my lips.
My heart is a broken sunset
When the sky drips red from all corners
When you know there should be a morning coming
But all that lies ahead is the night.
