Screaming
I want to scream.
I want to squeeze my eyes shut
and block out the world
and open my mouth
and scream
and release every frustration, and worry, and ounce of pain.
until my lungs give out
until the storm passes
until everything is ok
until its safe to return to reality
until these tears stop
and my heart mends
but, its not that simple,
and I'm not that weak.
I'll brave the fight,
and although my heart fears the storm
I'll battle through it,
and taste the rain.
