Inside I'm Screaming
by Amanda L Marroni put on a fake smile
despite all the turmoil boiling inside
i act like everything is fine, just dandy
but inside i'm screaming
i hold back the riptide of emotions
never wanting anyone to know how unstable i've become
assuring those around me that i'm swell
although inside i'm screaming
no one understands me
i've become a lost cause
left me behind, i feel so numb
but inside i'm screaming
swimming in the deep end
i should have let myself drown
i didn't, i now regret it
but inside i'm screaming

| Posted by Agnes Eva on 05/07/03 at 05:36 PM at least you have the outlet of poetry.. but sounds like you need more outlet for those screams.. i suggest travel, if possible... just drive, let the wind blow the screams from your body :) great poem |
