I Scream So Loud

I scream so loud.
It hurts my ears.
I can't begin to express
My worries and fears.
For years they have
Been swept under a rug,
But now, at last,
They're being undug.
All those years,
The worries haunted me.
I can't believe
That nobody did see.
The trust is broken
With those who were close.
I'm sorry to say this.
It causes me to feel morose.
I'm worried I
May never have friends
Unless my definition
Of them bends.
The friends I did have
Were liars who'd cheat.
Over and over,
These acts they'd repeat.
They lied to me.
I'd fall for it.
Now I feel,
It's time to quit.
I don't need the screams.
I don't need the pain.
I deserve better.
This I will gain.
I'll pray to God.
He won't mislead.
Rather Him alone I trust.
He's the only one I need.
