I Scream Poem by Miss Grace

Sometimes I wanna scream, shriek, and cry out
When I take a turn around I find myself in pain
To see what has become of the society
progressing in technology, regressing in mentality.
And when I raise a concern
suddenly I find myself amidst the deaf
so I scream through the paper
cause I am not blind.
I scream cause people around me are hurt enough
to wince in pain but not enough to cry out loud
some lie wishing for more challenges to prove
their trauma was worth the tears
I scream cause people are hypocrites
they kiss the petals, kill the thorns
yet proclaim their love for the rose.
The so-called idea of perfection becomes a knife
that hurts anyone who dares to deviate from the preset.
I scream, cause pain is only valid when generalized enough
and acceptance has become a utopian vision.
I scream as the lady justice looked me in the eye during the judgment
who paid the price for the blood of her innocence?
I scream, cause no one can help the other
cause each is tangled up in their share of problems.
I scream, cause I feel helpless in this infinite race
helpless cause I lack the courage and capability.
I scream through the paper and the ink becomes
the blood flowing from the wound and as I lie dying in my eyes
I scream one last time hoping someone will answer this time.
