Screams

A world of a pin fall silence
Where big dreams are made
The scene for the bigger process
A home, all good 

Infliction stirs it up
Confusion starts to build
Invasion of a wild group
Good home turning bad

Whispers breaks the silence
Confrontation taking place
No peace, rocking violence
Civil war, internal mess

Voices getting louder
No vision, turning blind
Rivals overtakes the founder
The state of the mind

The poem expresses the tumult and violence of war, the fears and uncertainties. You are clearly someone who knows this experience firsthand. Your words are instructive to every reader. Keep writing, friend! -Thomas

The wars that people battle within themselves: depression,ADHD,OCD,anxiety I believe these wars can also be won by the same individual. Thanks for taking your time to read it.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

My thoughts are that this poem came from a heart that’s known sad, that there’s many out there who’ve known good turn to bad. Also I think that the broken can overcome sorrow and live to enjoy a brighter tomorrow… Beryl
