Claire Monte Poet I do not know?

Scream Your Heart Out

Isolate the pain from the reckless recluse
The mist missed your face and landed on your shoes
The souls of which are troublesome and used
You must understand this isn’t your hand
Anymore
Than this is my life
The wonder in your eyes,
The question on your face,
The memories you once held dear,
You’re looking around as if you’ve never been here
The leap of faith that you must take
Will bring you farther than any belief
You can fake
The book’s in your face, 
The pen’s on the ground,
Looks as if your story
Can never be bound
The gleam in your eye,
The bounce in your step,
The glint in your smile,
It’s all so flagrantly vile
Scratch a new record
But it’s already on file
You can’t keep going
But He’s begging you please,
Scream your heart out for one more mile

Carolyn Devonshire February 21, 2009 at 6:16 PM Hi Claire. I love the way you opened this poem: "Isolate the pain from the reckless recluse." And you're right, your life is YOUR life. Perhaps it would be wise not to listen to someone who wants you to "Scream your heart out for one more mile." I wish you joy and love in the future. Carolyn
