Alien, Green, Smiley, Emoticon, Scream

thirty screams, thirty

thirty screams, thirty
how many can you make
to clean out all the dirty
before you simply break

twenty-nine won’t do
in can’t encompass all
one less is just too few
for the whole to fall

thirty, screams, thirty
each a distinctive cry
a feeling so unworthy
as if you just could die

scream, scream and scream
until pain is no more
you ‘ll release inner steam
just your heart will be sore

This piece shakes me... it is unsettling. And yet I can identify with the sentiment of just wanting to scream until I can’t anymore... this is not an easy one. Somber... but as always skillfully done!
