silent screams #3

* part 3

 

 

 

How can I shut the silent screams of my mind?

 

It stings my heart when my mind shouts its frustrations

He says the world is a crazy place

I say, I just needed to find the right kind of pace for my taste

To run my own race.

 

I can’t stop myself from running away

I can’t even find a place for me to stay

Like they say:

“There is no such thing as permanent”

Yet my core yearns for that everlasting moment.

 

The shouts blast me in many, many lives I see,

Deep within these walls my mind could foresee.

Nothing more but a fantasy.

 

I just wish you could see

How my mind screams its plea.

Your mind may scream but your soul is such a gentle permanence. I wish you could hear what many of us feel and see when we read your words...decipher your thoughts. With your words and the images you place along with them, I am able to stand upon the edge without fear of falling deep into the abyss. Even, in some instances diving into the dark with adoration for such a great ambassador as yourself to guide me through without a mark.I am then able to return to my own light being able to understand the plight of my fellow man and brother better than ever before ...so, thank you wise and gentle being! My wish for you in this season is peace, joy, and a thousand HUGS!

If I am a phoenix, I would die every day, just to be renewed the next day. Yet I don’t want that, there is a chance I’ll lost the precious memories and friends I cherish who have help me to be much of a better person than I was. My mom was my great lost in the past, I was a teenager back then. I lost her greatly, and gain something… and that is: to be more independent and how to be responsible. Because, I was a little brat in the early age and a very dependent and lazy, lazy teenager before. It’s true that when you lose something you’ll gain something else. Because when she died I realized many things, that I need to be strong for my father because my sisters are already married and very far away(because they’re in Holland), that I need to take care of his health too and us both. So I guess I gain maturity on my late teens, just the right time to focus more on being practical that I didn’t mind what really I want. But that’s ok, I don’t regret any of that, for I believed there are reasons why this path was chosen for me, or was chosen by me. I just hate the uncertainties and fears I have in my life right now, that it screams loudly in my mind. sigh… Thank you for listening my friend. Hugs!

Like the picture i can see someone with the war all in their head. You know the scream are there but you don't know what they are trying to tell you. It seems in a way like you are back tracking your steps to make the screams stop. I like it kid. Everything is just how you see it but you may not understand why just yet. Good kid.

[Pax]

Thank you, Ten...

My mind is always screaming . Because all it does is write.then again It screaming when I don't writ
awesome poem.

[Pax]

I know how that feels my friend, thank you.

We all have that silent screams in our minds, Pax. The only difference we have is I'm voicing out to you some of them, while you're not. LOL

"I just wish you could see
How my mind screams its plea."

Forgive me but I think the last two lines seem impossible for you. It's difficult to read one's mind especially if what's coming out of the mouth is really different from what's inside the mind and heart. I hope to read something opposite of this piece someday, my friend. I always wish for the best for a friend like you. Keep going!

You are a master of weaving emotions into words that are touching and grabbing hold of your readers. You make them feel the state of being you are in. That is powerful indeed...An splendid poem...:)..........

I don't have to see it...my head does the same thing on a daily basis...writing poetry only offers me a moment of silence. I haven't seen you around in a while my friend...glad to see you are still writing. I hope you are well??

"I say, I just needed to find the right kind of pace for my taste
To run my own race." ----i do not know what race you are referring on this write but this made me think of the competition-driven world we are living in. running at our own pace is most ideal for there would be less stress but if we keep on waiting for that right pace, chances are we would be left behind.

i think we see Pax....you are a poet...our words scream out what our mind can't keep in.

nicely done.

Wow...I can really relate to this! I love it. I often feel like running away from home and staying away for awhile, but then realize: where would I go? Who would want to take me in if I'm not able to pay rent or help them out? Then I sit back and re-think things...keeping the voices satisfied in my head. It's not easy to go through each day with voices yapping around in your head, but for some, it's never-ending. We just have to do our best to either block them out or simply learn to live with them. Perhaps, they could be the ones to keep us company when the silence arrives late at night, the ones to sing us to sleep. Beautifully written :)

[AleyshaRosa]

Wow. I love how desperate the poem felt, like a true fight of reality and the depths of his mind.

It stings my heart when my mind shouts its frustrations

He says the world is a crazy place

I say, I just needed to find the right kind of pace for my taste

To run my own race.

The third verse was almost an excuse...
Well done
