Psychogenic Pain

Screaming is what I heard Screaming like a flightless bird I was alone in a cell or in a room Everyday the screams came with the moon Tomorrow is a new day But I'm the same man The man who grips his pillow at night Fearing the war he must fight They say everything will get better I will oppose that in my suicide letter I need to state that I'm not that dark I'm just a man who's is searching for his heart The screams I heard were from me but its not me It was a heart that yelled just to be found A heart that was buried 6 feet under the ground Will it ever succeed to live That's one thing I can never give

Mohamed,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
