Your Vineyard

You have not yet learned how to scream
Nor shout or yell or call
You have learned how to bottle
Pouring wines from your fingertips
You are a vineyard of emotions
Anger plucked too early from the vine
Is the sourest crop you grow here
But guilt is your most popular flavor
You sell a wine called "The Seven Sins"
You had no idea fermented fear would sell so well
It fills your head with whispers or addicts
But customers love the adrenaline aftertaste
I'd like to buy your vineyard, please
I'd like to burn it to the ground
I'd like to set the "no talking" sign aflame
And I'd like to hear you scream
As your life work falls to ash and smoke
I'd like to hear you scream
Please, I beg, learn how to scream.

This poem honestly evokes some very intense situations, speaking of a person who hasn't yet learnt how to scream, they bottle up their emotions and nurture them, which reep in harvests of anger and grief..The fermented fear got sold very well in forms of beautiful words but the feelings behind them are nerve-wrecking. This poem probably talks of a person who doesn't show but writes his/her emotions."I'd like to buy your vineyard","I'd like to set the"no talking" sign aflame"Sigh, that's palpable

Thank you so much Hiya! I agree, emotions are a tricky thing, much like crops. It's important to know what you are growing, as well as how to keep it healthy. It's also important to know what you intake. As much as an "adrenaline aftertaste" can be fun, a concentrated intake of fear isn't necessarily healthy. I'm glad my poem resonated with you and thanks for the support!
