Scream In the night-poetry..A poem
64Why a poem
words are gift that writers use to share their dreams with others, but sometimes words are a way for the soul to speak. to me that is the beauty of poetry. from the high joys to the deep dark of human emotion, it can all be expressed through a poem.
this is an older poem, from my past.... I am sharing it in the hopes of letting certain emotions free.
Scream in the night.....
Did you hear me scream?
The still of the night shattered
Or did you think it nothing more than a dream
As my whole world fractured.
Did you think to step out?
Into the unknown dangers of the night
To see what the screaming was about
While you stayed safe in the light.
Safe behind your door
As I cried for aid
Did you hear the evil roar?
As my body he did invade
As it carved up my soul
Did you think to call?
As he swallowed my innocence whole
Did you do anything at all?
I fought a desperate losing battle
Surrounded by hundreds yet no one came
We all knew i would lose the struggle
Humiliated alone and shamed
Yet still you stay
Listening to my pain
Too scared to move, not sure what to say
So shocked, frozen into frightened refrain.

So stay safe behind your locks
Knowing while i scream
The evil will never ever knock
Upon your own house of dreams

I a bit was nervous posting such a personal piece,but I am touched you took the time to read it.thankyou
What a shocking, frightening, painful cry, yet wonderful poetry at the same time. Too painful to read. It must have been painful to share.
sometimes the hardest things to share are the very things that need to be shared.
thank you for letting me know what you thought, it was hard to share, but i felt maybe it was time to stop hiding it in the dark
(it may have cursed my page tracker, showing no page views at all yet 2 comments? very strange)
Brought a heavy emotion out in me.. Feeling a tad Monstrous toward someone out there and if I had a wish I would have used it for you. Thanks for sharing (shook me a bit)
thank you, it was a dark time in my life, and difficult to share, but i am glad that i have let it go, free me up for better brighter days ahead
...don't hold back - sincerity in art is everything - and when you write from the heart the mind will always follow ..... and this is poetry at its most pure profound level .....
thankyou...this poem is one of the very pieces that i can say wrote itself. it turned an unspoken feeling into something that speaks far deeper than i ever thought possible..
thank you for your comments, it means a lot coming from a writer i respect so much..
What beautiful haunting words. I can feel the pain, the emotions. Thank you for sharing them. It takes a lot of courage to write about pain.
Blessings,
Laurie
Thank you it means a lot to me that others may be getting something out of this poem, it was hard to share, but the deeply personal stuff always is....
thank you so much for letting me know what you thought, it means a Lot to me...
Voted up. Such a deep poem. I cannot really give any advice, or criticism in how you could better this piece, because if only slightly altered, all meaning would be lost.
You did a great job in constructing this piece - It is obvious how much it means to you!
thank you so much! you are right in that means a lot to me, I don't think I could bring myself to change even a word of this piece as its way too personal to want to change it to suit others, but I am so very touched that you both took the time to read it and to love such a thoughtful comment. it means a lot to me thank you
