Screaming

Inside, screaming.
I scream inside because
I do not know how to scream outside
My useless vocations have no face
No way to exit
No way to expand
Reverberations, humming in my throat
Muffled by flesh and mucus

Perhaps this is the way it is supposed to be
Perhaps my body
Was not made for explosion
Of expression and voice

Or,
Perhaps I am meant to learn
Perhaps I ...need... to learn
How to open my mouth
To rip open the barrier
Create my self an orifice
With which to execute my emotion

So silent I remain
The reverberations remain
The barrier remains
All I can manage is a dull hum
That can't possible represent
My screaming on the inside

Because,

And this is the bare truth,
I do not have a mouth

And so, until I am given a mouth
Or tear myself through to create one
I will never scream
Never cry out for life
Silent I will remain

Silent and Screaming
