Screaming in Darkness

Standing in the middle of a dark room

No lights

No sounds

Only me!

I begin to scream

Letting out frustrations 

Anger

Sadness

All these emotions 

These feelings bottled up

I clench my fists

Force them to my side

I keep screaming 

In this dark room

I scream til I can’t no more

I collapse to my knees 

My hands fall in front of me

Placed on the cold ground

Head bowed

I begin to sob

The warmth of the tears stream down

My eyes begin to sting from crying so hard

My voice going raw

I have so much more

More emotions 

Feelings

Anger 

Frustrations 

All still deep inside me

The tears slow to a trickle

My cheeks flushed

I am beyond overwhelmed 

Everyone telling me how I should feel 

Somehow I overreacted 

Overreacted by these tears

By me screaming

I shouldn’t feel these

Yet, I’m in a dark room

With no lights

Now the only sound is coming from me

The darkness tries and forces it way in

Like the demons that it carries 

All I want to do 

Tilt my head back

Scream some more
