Scream

Dare me to scream
Because I can
And I will
If you want me to.
You see, 
You just don't understand
What it is I'm going through,
The pain I am experiencing at this time.
No one does.
No one knows. 
So if you let me,
I will let it all out
With a loud scream
And some tears on my cheeks
Holding myself close
'Cause no one else will.
It's so hard not to cry
To stand tall
To put on a smile and say
"I'll be alright."
And make people believe me.
Please believe me.

Some times a person just needs to scream, to release, because no one knows what you feel except you. Excellent piece.
