YOUR SOUL SCREAMS WHY???

by Rocky   Oct 30, 2006


Can you please tell me why?
Why do you try
To deny that voice
That ME
That screams inside?
Why do you refuse to listen
When in such agony it cries
Or is it only a ghosts whisper
Drowned out
In the chaos behind your eyes?
Why do you try so damn hard
To silence it
With alcohol
Drugs
And lies?
Why do you try to run to flee
And in societies illusions hide?
BUT
Does it not always find you
When your sober
By yourself
In the dark of night
All alone with your fears
And your pain
And there is no sleep insight?
THEN
Can you not hear its tragic screams?
Can you not hear its mournful cries?
Does its weak pleas
Not keep you awake
As it shrieks and begs you for its life?
As in its own pool of sorrow
You try so damn hard
To it drown
But in your grip
STILL
It squirms and it writhes
And begs you to atleast answer
Why it must die?
Why must it be tortured so
With no end in sight?
But do you any answers
Or merely your own lies?
Have the playthings of us gods
Become your chains that bind
You to your sorrows
While ever trapped
Behind your masks
never free
Your soul forever cries
So once more I ask you simply...
WHY?

    This is an amazing write. It is simply spectaular. I have to say I agree that is follows the theme of my poem quite closely. It speaks of the pain and torture of not being true to yourself and following the lies and dark paths of others. If you cannot be true to yourself, who can you be true to?? If you don't follow your own path, you'll only make the mistakes of those before you. Your depth and meanings hit home very deeply. You are an awesome awesome writer. To give it 5/5 seems to be a shame, but I guess I'll have to settle for it

    Much Love,
