Primal Screams

I imagine the pinhead

That tears open the door

Spilling the unsaid

Flooding over the floor

Releasing how I feel

All at once, bursting free

Exposing what’s real

A raw, primal scream

That once, held by a thread

All it took was a nudge

Shaking the thoughts in my head

Stirring toxic dust

Severing the silence

With little intent

Trauma sourced response

By the things I never said
