Need To Scream

Burrfoot • 689 followers

I've felt this torment many times before
The scream that builds to an internal roar

An urge in my muscles to burst out of my skin
Where is the end, I don't know where to begin

My shell tries to maintain its poise
I cover my ears to the mocking white noise

A need to scream and punch holes in walls
A lifeline required while my spirit falls

Time crawls by as laughter fills our home
Colour drained replaced by chrome

Secret fear spreading through clouded brain
In the next room kids play while I smile in vain

Covered Up Words

Yes, I'm fine, Smiling all the time. Everything's great, Living life until it's too late. I'm a little crazy and a little mad, There's nothing bad about that. I'm perfectly safe It's all okay.

Pain

If only the pain would go. So that I could feel normal. People passing by don't seem to notice. If only the pain would go. Returning me back to the way I was. I don't want to feel like this anymore.

I Am Stress.

Crushing all your aspirations, Choking all your inhalations, Clutching all your exhalations, Dismissing any celebrations.

Worry.

#FreeVerse Worry Always on the edge of my mind Like a knife That Just. Won't. Leave. Like an edge that I can't drink away Can't drown Can't burn Can't cut Can't cure.

Memories Kill

I just wanted you to hear me say That that fake smile you wore today, Made me think back to a life; Of tired lies and empty strife.

The Sleepless

Twisting and turning. The world doesn't make sense. The fear twines around me. Suffocates the very essence of my being. Starved. On the verge of tears. On the edge of surrender.
