Screaming Out, Where Is She
A Short Poem
Laying in the darkness
These thoughts of you I dread
Can’t you see the likeness
Of the monsters in my head?
I’m listening to the voices
They never go away
I’m sick of all these choices
From you I’d never stray.
My heart is torn to pieces
I swear I always try
To rid me of these creases
For you I always cry.
I’m screaming out where are you
To the girl I left behind
When I said that I did too
I hoped you wouldn’t mind.
All these personalities
They’re ripping me to pieces
Why can’t they just set me free
Just get out of my head.
I’m tired of all these voices
From them I cannot hide
But they won’t make my choices
I’ll scream until I’ve cried.
They’re screaming out where is she
The monsters deep inside
They keep trying to find me
So they don’t have to hide.
I’m fighting all these battles
They’re deep inside my head
And if I could undo them
These demons would be dead.
But here I am an open door
My privacy no longer listening
My thoughts are free just for the world
I hope they’re really glistening.
All the time I scream and shout
I feel I’m finally drowning
In a hateful sea so full of doubt
The queen they’re finally crowning.
Can’t you see inside me?
Can you feel my hurt, my pain?
Cause honestly I’m crying
Can’t you please tell me my name.
Cause obviously you know me
Better than I know myself
If I could reach inside my head
Maybe she would find her shelf.
Crying in the corner
Hiding from the pain
Turn it off I scream
Louder than I’ve screamed my name.
I’m shouting
Aren’t you listening?
You idiot I doubt
Myself because I’m worthless
Yet I still scream and shout.
Please just flip the light switch
It’s easy
Can’t you see?
Maybe one day you’ll get it
When you finally see inside of me.
The girl who on the outside is always full of doubt
Can’t fight her demons within but still she’ll scream and shout.
Maybe one day you’ll understand
Maybe it won’t be so hard
For you to lend a helping hand
Here, take my card.
