A Shout Into The Void

A shout into the void, like a whispered wish, amplifies the loneliness that dwells within. And like the feigned beauty of a lionfish: lust can lure the uninitiated in. Like an emotional roller coaster ride, love can be scary; count the tears you've cried. And in those moments, you fight the urge to scream when life feels more like a nightmare than a dream.
