Scream

It crawls up my throat

Threatening to expose my heart

I suck in my breath, deeper

So the stiffling can't escape

Tears sting my eyes

I push them back in

I know i mustn't cry

Cant let anyone know just yet

But then there is one

Who hears my silent screams

Who reads every thought
taking shape in the crevices of my mind

And try as i might 

to bottle up all the chaos inside

I can't shield or hide 

The truth from the one who resides
Within...
