Silent Screams

By darkness_descends


Deafend my my silent screams,
Tortured by my private dreams.
Some invade me with tumescent intentions,
Others with horrors I fear to mention.
My mind I can no longer control,
I feel I've become a helpless drone.
I'm alive but I feel mostly dead,
Tortured by the blood stained images in my head.
I fear sleep,
For the horrors that creep.
But alas I wake to another day,
Filled with pain as I try to run away.
The pain in my heart and the burning in my chest,
I can only describe as unbearable at best.
No longer can I hear the voices in my dreams,
Because I've been deafened by my silent screams.

    That hit close to home. I often find it hard to give comments because I'm afraid of being repetitive. I really enjoyed this piece. No bullshit. I feel that this is really deep with a large amount of feeling soaked into each word. You cured my writing bloc
