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.

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 Thanks that would be cool!! I got to ask are you in some famous band and just hiding out at sw lol . Your sound touched that spot that takes me away.

@kodiac Nope. Just me.
I did the bar band thing on and off for a few years. Just covers.
That shit is a labor of love for sure.
Hard to find people that want to do originals and have something to contribute.
You say all the right things brother. :-)
Okay okay .. cats out of the bag. I'm really Dave Mustain. Or how ever you spell my last name. LOL
@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.

@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.
