Scream
A little honesty for your drama
Heavy words
Light tongue
Aching soul
You share with me
**
Beat on my walls
They won’t break
Not for you
Better than you have tried
**
Carelessly hurl your thought
They scream as they approach
They die at my fortress keep
I am walled in too tight
**
You're desperate for attention
You won’t get it here
Go cry somewhere else
Your tears mean nothing to me
**
Quell your drama
Grow the fuck up
Not everyone is against you
Most don’t even know you’re alive!
**
So, go fill someone else’s ears
Go break someone else’s heart
Go spread your poison elsewhere
I don’t need what you have to offer

When Contradicting Images Reveal More Than Logic
I have a history of analyzing the utterly brilliant and soul-touching poetry of Mesh Toraskar. It seems I’m unable to read his poetry and move on with my life, as each line, each half-line, each word is so rich with imagery, references, concepts, et cetera, that it requires taking slow, quiet time to fully appreciate it all. He took quite a long break at the beginning of the year before returning in April with the stunner, “fresh terror to love.” He has published two more pieces since then, one poem and one Feast narrative, both of which I highly recommend. You’ll quickly deduce that I will recommend everything this man has written. Anyway, I promised to come back when words were no longer failing me and I did not. A lot has happened to me and it simply has not stopped, yet this is no excuse for being mute to the following beauty.
