Scream and Cry and Calm

by DeerInBacPac


I want to scream.

I want to yell,

make my lungs burn.

---

I am shaking,

I feel like I am about to break,

A tree in a lightning storm.

---

I want to cry,

But people are here, in

The room across from mine --

The one below.

---

I am shaking.

The keys are hardly clacking --

Instead, they are being smashed.

---

I need a hug:

I need a person to tell me things will be okay.

I need a person who will help me,

A friend who won't turn their back.

I need a friend who I can be myself around.

I feel so alone.

A tree in the

middle of the desert.

---

It's so cold here, at night.

Here in the desert,

Beasts roam free.

I have many that stalk me.

---

I want to scream.

I want to have my throat feel like knives are

slicing it apart,

Destroying my means of talking.

---

I want to cry,

I want to cry until my eyes are bleeding.

Oh, how I wish I could cry my worries away.

---

I feel like that I am freaking out

For no reason.

---

Stay calm stay calm

staycalmstaycalmstaycalm

---

Maybe I am calm.

For now. 

AN// Thank you @DemonGoddess for helping me with my grammar on this poem and with a line or two!!!

Hello! You've done a good job with this poem. Capturing emotions is difficult, much less getting others to relate to those emotions. I certainly related to this poem. I think it hits everyone a different way, because most everyone has been in the place this poem was written in, mentally, of course.

One thing I would suggest changing is in the sixth stanza, the last line seems awkward (as everything usually does to my awkward brain). I would suggest cutting it, unless it holds super emotional value.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this poem. I connected with it, and I think you've done a good job at portraying an emotion.

Overall, I think you did a very good job. Your poem hit me on a personal note, for I sometimes feel that I have no one in my life to comfort me.

I think the way you formated your lines and stanzas really made the poem flow well.

I also loved how you used bolds and italics to shape your poem. That gave it more depth.

Here you guys. This is basically a mash up of all of my poems. Credit to DG for a few of the lines and some grammar fixes!
