Scream

When the world makes you feel as if you're too ugly to be loved (SCREAM) When the in crowd isn't your crowd & you feel like an outcast (SCREAM) When you're pressured to look a certain way & their size isn't your size (SCREAM) When it seems like your loved ones speak an unknown language & you've out grown them (SCREAM) When the one you choose to love is frowned upon & seen as an abomination (SCREAM) When you no longer find those stolen moments of laughter (SCREAM) When you have disillusioned by thoughts of distinguishing your own life (SCREAM) SUICIDE IS NEVER THE ANSWER- DEATH ISN'T GOING TO ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET- DEATH IS FINAL- SCREAM LOUD- SCREAM LONG. . . . . . . SOMEONE WILL HEAR YOU!!

Consider yourself heard. Very powerful piece. Anyone who has lived can relate to these words. Welcome to the soup, with your talent you will fit right in and you can scream or speak softly and you will find people of like mind who will listen. Hugs Rick
