I am screaming
Because I cannot find the words
I am screaming
Because I feel like you do not see me
I am screaming
Because I feel like you do not hear me
I am screaming
Because I feel like you do not consider me
I am screaming
Because I feel like I am stuck in a black hole that no sound escapes
I am screaming
Because I am so fucking tired of having to fight
I am screaming
Because I am fortunate and yet I feel defeated every day
I am screaming
Because I am going to be late to work
I am screaming
Because my car has been running for half and hour
I am screaming
Because I feel like an idiot
I am screaming
Because I don’t know what to tell you, but I want you to figure it out
I am screaming
Because I want you to be afraid of me
I am screaming
Because I want to embarrass you
I am screaming
Because I want you to shut up
I am screaming
Because I want you to leave
I am screaming
Because I am done. I am so done. I am beyond done. But my throat won’t open to allow those words My lips and teeth won’t cooperate and form the consonants
I am screaming
