Somewhere Between Screaming And Crying

Somewhere between screaming and crying

is where all these feelings belong

shouting and sobbing, i release these pent up thoughts

I don't know which is worse, silently suffering

or loudly proclaiming the pain and seeing

the faces of those you love, and knowing

that they can do nothing to help

suffering silently to see how no one

can see the pain and watch as they go on

living, and laughing, and loving while

inside you're dying and crying and hating

everything that you've become, silently wishing

for the ignorant bliss that you knew as a child

it may not have been happy, but it was a better time

you were blissfully unaware of how far down you could sink

somewhere between screaming and crying

is where I lie.
