screaming silence

By liquid_emotion

I couldnt cry

even as my throat swelled shut

and the heaviness seeped into my viens

the world swimming before my eyes

emotions so raw and brutal

physical pain aching in my chest

choking out the oxygen

filling the air with a cold numbness

each fine hair on my body rising

while shaking violently inside

from the effort of keeping it all

Quiet

great job from start to finish. You depicted the feeling quite well.
A former member wrote: this poem's amazingly descriptive, that very hard sometimes. i love the thought, and oxymorons in general, "screaming silence." i think the idea is in a couple of my poems as well.
