My Soul Screams

Why can't you hear my plea?
My soul screams for the release your binds
won't allow...
The echoing depths of my second 
self...reaching, wanting to explore...
to search for and to find...to capture and 
recapture...to hold...
Wanting to find the real me...
the true me...needing me...whole..wanting...
still searching...hoping...ME...
You never noticed that I slipped into a half 
person...a shadow...
Never relinquishing all I could be...
all I could attain...only a whisper!
An imagery of what you want me to be!
Caught in a prism, all angles reflecting, 
coinciding, but none penetrable enough to 
experience or to know my inner-self...even 
when my voiceless face stood frozen...
WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR MY PLEA...
MY SOUL SCREAMS...
