My Scream

I scream cuz I am touched
I scream cuz this world doesn't hear me 
down in this pit 
I scream not for pity,but for help 
the scream is so loud that it screams back at itself 

it echoes
my scream  itself screams
because I am touched 
touched as someone is tormenting my soul
as if hell is earth, like the cave of hades
I have been shut in and still alive 
momentous time

I scream  because someone is robbing  me 
someone has broken down my brown skin 
slayed my vacant body in search for what 
momentous time
 yet this guilty conscience has nothing to be guilty about 
but this scream  says something that no one dare realize 
all the focus in one room 
I still scream 
scream louder  and louder 
momentous time spread across her 
As wings of an angel screams 
beauty as her mother lays out 
this scream agoning pain close to her heart
