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
