a r c a n e [Poems]

s c r e a m i n g

No one can hear the yelling in my head
The constant screaming
The never ending banging of loud objects

Wars are going down inside of me and no one would ever know

No one would know that I cry myself to sleep most nights

No one would know that hearing a certain string of words send me into a state of fear where I can't feel my own body

No one would know how easily I break down

Slowly melting into the floor

My body a shaking mess

Tears stain my cheeks and I scream

But this time the outside world can hear it too
