Scream

I write with pain and paper

The tears become my ink

I live each day like it's my last

While standing on the brink

My words become my saviour

They tell me where to go

Tomorrow has no meaning

A place I do not know

The paper is my shelter

It hides my past mistakes

My heart will tell me what to say

Before it finally breaks

My soul cries out in sad remorse

But no one hears me cry

No one offers a helping hand

They only pass me by

A poet's words will always scream

Before they disappear

A thousand people will read my verse

But none will truly hear

Oh I don't know about the last line-not true for me! Your words ring so true in my heart and soul, it's as if you saw my feelings and put them into words for me. In reading your words, I feel like I found someone who knows what I'm about!

the poem speaks louder than words

the true unspeakable yet spoken misery of every poet who pushes his heart hard to ooze out perfect words for a perfect epic.

its one of the excellent poems i have ever read.

only few have really got that damn frantic potential to scribble down their heart and use the box to mould it

perfect rhyme
steady flow
constant level from start to end
the title is much thought upon
the heart really screams and only a person depressed and lonely can understand that

an excellent piece
