Screams From Within

Having always used words,
to express the emotions inside.
Now unable to find words to define,
allowing the feelings to hide.

Not knowing where to start,
lost as to how to begin.
To remain bound and gagged,
no where to turn, no way to win.

Left with feelings of hopelessness,
lost within sorrow and despair.
Does no one see me drowning,
doesn't anyone care.

Alone, left drifting through life,
unable to speak, unwilling to feel.
Longing to open up and scream out,
"Help me to remember what is real!"
