Scream so loud it becomes white noise in your head

Watch the world melt around you

Black birds drowning in the blood red skies dripping at your feet

You're The primal Scream set free from hell

The raw flesh is too much for people to bare

They shout in your face to stop and make yourself disappear

But the face from within has finally come up for air

With shame and fear they try to asphyxiate your despair

You're a nothing creating something from within

So absurd becomes the fight

So surreal becomes this life

Laughter bubbles forth like rare champagne in these strange times

Scream until you're scared that body comes crawling through your mouth

It's a creature you can't contain

A something from nothing waiting to slither out

You're The Primal Scream

And they don't even know, can't even tell, can't even fathom

You're screaming for help that won't come

They don't object to shredded limbs and a comatose head

They only intervene when you've become loud not near dead

Scream until you find out what Love is

Scream until you know how stability feels

Scream until your tears become a storm

Scream until you find out why you were born

Scream until you can make sense of it all

Scream until all you have left is apathy and gall

Scream until you feel safe outside of dark corners

Sceam until you realize nothing matters

Scream until time suspends and reality becomes unreal

Scream until you find a way to heal

Scream as you fall with no hands to catch your heart

Scream as you feel consciousness depart

Scream until they realize you're actually talking

Something has caught your interest

And i have this heart wrenching dread that it's no longer me

Youthful fancies have rendered us careless

Expectations unexplored and already set free

You're leaving me behind

But It's always been just me

Fighting against the tides

Holding onto nothingnes with sheer grit

Floundering and choking while the light hides

I thought i would despair forever

If you were never mine

But now i think i will live

I will be more than just fine

Maybe i would have known you

If you had just tried

Maybe you would have known Love

If my hope hadnt died

But now the hour is nearing

Darkness is calling for her lost

And i will go mended and unfearing

Barefooted through this bloody frost

Another night will say it

Another moon will cry

Another trampled heart upon

Which the world passes by

So go away now

Go to your cupboards of goodbyes

And on the shelves you'll find me

Between perfume bottles and pressed sighs

Go away now

Go to your friends who call

And if you look back

I hope you look back for me and devastatingly fall

Midnight hair flowing in the wind,

A ride down familiarity and not what could have been.

Moonlit smile and cherry blossom cheeks-

Pedalling away her final weeks.

She is strength personified in her navy blues and pressed whites,

Unafraid under the shattered streetlights.

A beauty against a sky of pearls,

Royalty in another world.

She is wisdom woven into seventeen years,

Adversity- she’d never let it steal her tears.

A beauty against a gutter of depravity,

Royalty, bravely battling the tormentous sea.

Onwards home she finds her way,

Hopeful eyes eager to experience another day,

Of schoolgirl laughter and homeroom chatter,

Practicing trigonometry and waiting on that special acceptance letter

Down that dark hill and around the corner she goes,

Past neon welcomes and shojis in subdued glows.

Metal violently bends and soft skin on asphalt shreds like a rose.

For forty four seconds her opaline eyes tightly close.

She is immorality draped in pearls,

A mythical wonder from another world

Koi fishes swim peacefully in her vast blue,

As she aligns memories and meanings, like mahjong tiles below.

A dragonfly, wings lucent in the moonlight,

Finds its way toward the night sky.

There on her porcelain finger it perches,
