do you ever want to yell so tremendously that your lungs will burst?

so loudly that you won't be able to feel the streams of fire on your cheeks?

so enormously that your throat will rupture?

so terribly that your heart will begin to beat once more?

so emotionally that you will feel who you are come out of hiding

alive again at last

too long this shadow has held me captive

I want to destroy these cavernous walls so that I may breathe freely

with the sun warming my soul

vivid scenes are always behind my eyelids

but I'd rather they were holding my hand

I can put this down on a page

but it won't sink into my heart

words are as close as I can get to feeling anything

but I guess this twisted writing is better than a numb soul
