Psychogenic Pain

Screaming is what I heard 
Screaming like a flightless bird 

I was alone in a cell or in a room 
Everyday the screams came with the moon 

Tomorrow is a new day 
But I'm the same man 

The man who grips his pillow at night
Fearing the war he must fight 

They say everything will get better 
I will oppose that in my suicide letter 

I need to state that I'm not that dark 
I'm just a man who's is searching for his heart 

The screams I heard were from me but its not me 

It was a heart that yelled just to be found 
A heart that was buried 6 feet under the ground 

Will it ever succeed to live 
That's one thing I can never give

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Mohamed,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
