Scream To Sing
A street life scream swells
into every cell of her eyes,
tears of thunder find no escape
into the landscape of Man
so she lets the burning rain
rampage upon her frustrated soul,
she feels no mercy tonight
asks for no reason
this is her season, her North Star,
suffer like an orphan she tells herself,
suffer for the sake of sanity she sighs
a smile of defiance dances for a moment
across her forlorn face
as she realizes sharply
that to scream inside
is to prepare to sing outside,
she understands her song now
now she's ready to sing instead of scream
she has discovered the voice of Trinity
