Screaming without words

Screaming without words

There was silence all around 

Yet somehow I wanted to make some noise

Thoughts of sounds were drowning out any sense 

Didn't matter which way I turned just wanted to make something known 

But uncertain what it was that needed expressing

Attempting to form words in my mind but the connections wouldn't cooperate 

Seemed like everything attempted resulted in the opposite 

In the visions I could picture the vocabulary 

But could not connect this with reality 

It was an eerie silence 

Even if I sought from some imaginary dictionary it would not result in the appropriate guidance 

Continuing to avoid tragedy I tried choose something that would sound comprehensible 

Yet nothing emanated from this vestibule 

As I was just screaming without words
