HOW ARE YOU?
I have a scream
Trapped in my throat
Wanting to see the light
Out of the cave of my mouth,
An escape into the outside world
That doesn't care about its echoes.
A scream madly sponsored by
My mental cramps, wanting to flow blood -
Meant to be a monthly ritual but
Ment vent its muscles every minute -
Boiling, bubbling, bursting
An overflow my tears envied n' copied.
I'll pretend I can still hold up,
I'll pretend the screams ain't consuming,
I'll pretend the pressure is a pleasure,
Just don't ask, "How are you?"
