Scream

Tears building up within my eyes,

But I can’t let them out.

I feel the stabs into my stomach,

And I can’t escape them.

Their words running constantly through my head,

And I can’t think of anything else.

All the laughs, the stares,

I want to get away from them,

Get out of this room.

I want to be anyone but me.

I feel a huge scream building up in me,

Threatening to escape my mouth.

But I can’t.

So my throat traps it.

Everything is trapped,

And it just keeps hurting more and more.
