When A Whisper Is A Scream


Have you ever felt-though not asleep-

You cannot wake from a dark dream

From a whisper you hear a scream

It’s a deep crevasse from which it seems                                              you’ll never be freed


Your perception is deception

and you feel worth less-making you dizzy

Your most fundamental needs 

                            become a deep infection


You feel, no matter what, 

                                    every contradiction


You feel demeaned and even driven crazy

The outline becoming hazy

Until you can no longer make out

                                    your own intentions


A fractured mind is a doorway in the cruel

Dark night of knowing what adds fuel

To this ferocious bonfire of not enough care

It’s nobody’s fault yet they’re all guilty

                                           and it’s not fair 

how most can adapt to that kind of malaria 

and who starts out pure of heart

feels they turn evil with that

                                   dogma of convention
