The scream

I'll probably regret this but what the hell .
The scream

i know how it is to hurt all alone
When nightmares hide deep within dreams
And little boys hold all their secrets inside
But, when do I get to scream?

I know what it's like to be silent and brave
And stand still while fingers ream
And fight the tears back, when the night seems so black
But when do I get to scream?

I know what it's like to make yourself numb
And pretend you have great self-esteem
To live someone's life whom you don't know at all
Who smiles through his urges to scream.

And when I am dead and they open me up
They will find things were not what they'd seemed
For the child and the man and the demons will fly
Out of me, with a deafening scream.

It makes my heart happy whenever I see that you've written something. You're raw and vulnerable which takes courage, and hopefully, it's cathartic to let it go. That little broken boy inside created one helluva man with a good heart. It's easily visible through your commentary.😉

Stay real. Stay strong. Stay kind. The world needs more people like YOU.💞

@MoonlightLullabyOld yup same here

I liked this. It's sad that we hurt. But you've painted in my mind images of what you're trying to express.

@froggtongue Thanks for reading and responding

When I was eight years old a man made me have sex with him. I know lots of girls are abused sexually, emotionally and physically. Your poem showed me it's even harder for boys because you have no one to turn to when they wreck your lives.

@Bang5luts what i don't understand is how 300 priests in one area get outed and not one go to jail.
Bang5luts · M
@kodiac that shit pisses me off or how people say, oh but it's been happening for years anyways. 🤬
Bang5luts · M
I'd like to see how they would act if it was happening to them for years

@DDaverde I understand. i have a child to .i been told we have to convince them they are safe. Easier said than done it seems
DDaverde · 61-69, M
@kodiac yes that’s what I have been told
It’s harder to do than they say
That’s for sure

Looky what I found.
A poet. :-)
We may have to do something with your poems.
I did a few of LostPoets poems and they turned out pretty good.
I was still getting my recording going so the sound is kind of crap.
One of these day I am going to re-do them with better audio.
@Dainbramadge Are you really now? I am curious. I wonder if my poetry can be set to words. I know it isn't your style....You are talented.
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
@PoetryNEmotion Thank you so much for that.
I will go through and look at what you have on your profile or if you have something in mind just PM me the piece you think you would like to work with.
Remember that sometimes I have to change stuff around to make it from a poem to a song.
Most of the time the heart of the poem stays in tack but sometimes I may take a verse and make a chorus out of it or change words to make the song seem more lateral to others. Lateral.... WTH??? LOL
Keep in touch with me about this.
@Dainbramadge This is quite the colaboration! I have spun thousands of pieces. If you think of a word or image or idea, do let me know. I can send you one or whip one up. I appreciate your time.

Oh my god...
My mouth dried as I was reading your words...
You should be proud of yourself for being the person you are, open and gentle.
It takes even more courage to write about it and I really pray you may heal from this trauma and you are pursuing steps to help you heal.
Friendlyperson · 26-30, F
@kodiac You deserve them, you deserve all the good things that may be happening to you and I pray many of them are happening now. I hope you are pursuing some kind of mental health support such as therapy. You deserve to heal. 💗
And thank you for your words, I appreciate it.
Also: I've been reading your other posts, you are so talented, nd I found myself hanging on every word and praying for you to get better.
kodiac · 22-25, M
@Friendlyperson Thanks again , i have done therapy but not by choice ,so it didn't have much effect . Tbh the people i have found on this site have helped me much more than the therapy did . Most here are supportive and understanding ,a few like have become a large part of my life and my healing . Responses like yours are what keeps me here. I still have bad days and nights but now i'm not alone anymore .
Friendlyperson · 26-30, F
@kodiac
Ah, I understand.
It is really heartwarming that you have been able to find solace in this website. Many of us have gone through a rough patch and understand what it is like to struggle. (To each their own pain, of course, but we are not in a competition). Sometimes it feels as if this whole thing could be like a group therapy, without the therapist. :3
I'm glad I could help, even a little. And I'm here if you want to talk.

So powerful and well written. ♥️
kodiac · 22-25, M
@QueenOfTheNerds Thank you ,this is my scream i guess .
QueenOfTheNerds · 46-50, F
@kodiac That was my thought, too. ♥️
You don’t have to stifle your screams any more. Let them out. Let them out for yourself and for those who didn’t get the chance.
kodiac · 22-25, M
@QueenOfTheNerds Exactly!

❤️ Take good care of yourself. One day at a time, a cup of tea and a good book or video before bed can be comforting. Enjoy the sunrise, coffee, an egg on toast, and the comfort of a pet... One day at a time. You are thinking about having a business? I think you will be successful! It is sometimes scary but there is a freedom in that, and you can control your own hours.

Don't regret anything, good or bad, but" embrace " it! It is part of who you are today, of who you will be tomorrow… The verses are wonderful ............

@kodiac And i thank you !

Those of us with repressed screams are rarely heard or understood. It doesn't mean we have to make other innocent people cry and scream.
I just want to give you the biggest hugs possible. Put you in my car and crank the music loud so you can scream as loud and as long as you need to. Your painful words always touch my soul and make me feel less alone. Keep writing. Let your scream out. You are safe.

kodiac · 22-25, M
@MyMonstersAreReal Thank you for your kindness and strength. I feel so lucky to have such a beautiful friend. We have every reason to be bitter and just shut down but you kept your beautiful soul intact . To me that is the sign of victory over the darkness.
