Screaming in the Void by *zerry:iconzerry:



I want to throw my head back and howl
Like an animal.
I want my scream to shrilly ring out
Like the keening wail of the banshee.
I want all to hear my mighty bellow
Like a Klingon funeral cry.

The physical pain
The mental anger
The emotional anguish
Let the scream release it all
In a savage torrent of emotion
Drowning those who caused my suffering.

… except, I can’t.
If I scream, I might hurt my throat.
Or everyone might think I’ve gone crazy.
And my voice is so high-pitched, they might just laugh.

The impotency of it all…
… it’s enough to make you want to scream.

I've been battling major feelings of frustration lately, and like any good poet, suffering equals inspiration!

It reminds me of myself, in a way. The want to scream, but inability, making you want it all the more; an endless loop.
I'm not a good critique, but I do get the frustrated feeling from it, and the last part really pushed out the emotion in a silent, yet strong way.
Good job.:heart:

Thank you... I really wanted to emphasize the constant loop, and I'm glad the feeling of muted frustration came across.

Plus it's kinda refreshing to see one of my new batch of +watchers not only fav a piece, but actually *gasp* comment! So many thanks to you :thanks:

Up on the mountain, as the blizzards closed in, there was a red glow in the snow. It was there all winter, and when the spring gales blew, the rubies glittered in the sunshine.

No one remembers the singer. The song remains.

Eh, could be worse. You could be one of those wannabe-Japanese twits who tacks on "desu" at the end of every sentance. But obviously, you're not ;)
