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

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
