How can I fetch what's inside me? It's a mental scream I can see, They had poured fear through my mind's crease, Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace. There has been a real stage play, Rumbling in the chasm and airway,  This caused the effect of the cease, Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace. Screaming voices drove me insane, Shooters, killers, and guns again, Frail life blights me on endless lease, Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace.   We yield what we hear, but we hear, In our blood, others' scars are clear, We wipe tears but also decrease, Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace.    My wounds are still bright in my mind, Anguish since the long-term rewind, Out of sight, cracked into pieces, Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace.    We're together despite the waves, Thrilled as tides rush us to the caves, Earth seems to cast us a release, Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace.  We plant hope as a human seed, Love grows in the other being's deed,  These keen emotions can't surcease,   Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace.  What if rain wipes tears of sadness? We'll free ourselves from the brashness, Teases to shed tears of caprice? Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace. Whether you cry from pain or bliss, It's not rain that makes that abyss, Crying is nature, human peeps, Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace.  My sorrow is couched in downpour, Sobbing has not yet come down more, I chafe drenched while I wait for cease, Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace. Behind my face, that beams a smile, Long, twisty, and pitch-black road style, Secret cries have been rife with geese, Tears swell deep ache, I grieve in peace.

Our soul cries out from within. The pain of not knowing or not understanding is often felt as impossible to overcome. Life is a struggle when we do not know as much as we want to know, other find bliss in not striving for understanding or finding the answer to our whys. Poem written to fix the contest well. Good luck my friend. Bill

Sticking to the syllable count and telling what you have to say expressing the acute torment of pain screaming inside, is not an easy task. But in your expert hands, nothing is difficult and everything- facile ! Excellent poetry ! All the best dear friend !
