My Soul Cries

My Soul Cries

A Poem by ALiteRead

the cries of my soul in anguish
are merely whimpers never heard
what seem to be primal screams
are thoughts barely whispered
I call out at the top of my lungs
yet not a sound comes forth
for my voice is constricted
with a tightness that starts
deep within my being
a fear so great
I can barely breathe
and yelling for help
is not an option
trapped within myself
not even the voices
dare to make a sound
it is not fear I feel inside
yet I have no courage
from which to draw strength
even I have abandoned myself
as my soul cries in anguish
I am whimpering yet never heard

Oh, I feel this, I really do. I've been to this place and back, several times. You WILL find it, and when you do, you'll not only speak, but ROAR! Keep writing, it is good for the soul and as a courage builder, is a great tonic.
