Cathy Moore Poet Free verse

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!!
