Array ( [sid] => 31136 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => keep it inside [time] => 2004-01-09 01:05:32 [hometext] => [bodytext] => i want to scream
i want to cry
instead, i stare at the wall
and clench my teeth

i want to stab
i want to shoot
i want to kill something
that everyone loves
instead, i smile
and say something to make you laugh

i don't know you
but i want to tear your throat open
i want to feel your blood
blanket my face with warmth
i want to hear you gurgle
i want to see you fading
i want to watch you die
instead, i type and do nothing
shoving it back down inside

(hugging my knees
swaying in this chair
only free to be me
when no one else is here
clawing my face
punching myself
can't tell anyone else
because no one can help)

smothered whimpers
that long to be screams
my hate burning nations
these are my dreams

no ego here
i know my place
but i don't think you know yours
that's why i'm here
that's why i'm this way
that's why....

it all comes down
to them saying "no"
when i tried to show them what's inside
too deaf to hear
too blind to see
too stupid to understand
too far away for me to reach

i won't scream myself to sleep
because i'd never stop
just murmur weak threats
and empty promises of revenge
and snuggle with the razor blade
that knows my flesh as "home"

(keep it inside
shove it back down
don't ever let them see
it's far too late
if i show them now
they'll never set me free) [comments] => 6 [counter] => 184 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Damn that is powerful. A little on the dark side maybe. But powerful. Most people I would say have had some of those same thoughts sometimes in their life. Damn good write. Keep them coming.

Well for starters I LOVED the tone of this poem, which bordered on psychotic. The repetition really added to an already amazing poem. The 2nd to last stanza realy knocked me over 'snuggle with the razor blade' that was f*cking great.

your thoughts are like the waves of a sea emotinally they scream through your mind. but the heart inherently keeps its love and agony..so it smiles.. and cries in a different tune which is not hatred but of suffering..
thanks for sharing this wonderful poem. venkat.

I think the poem was well put together, and I can definately relate to some of the subjects you wrote about. Great poem!

Shouldn't be on the computer just now and don't have time anyway, but I just had to comment on this one.

I was impressed beyond belief. Certainly one of your better ones, if not among the best. Insert exceedingly fervent UFAPMOTGF here while I quietly walk off, my eyes still round.
