Reduced to Black Tears.
I can't take the screaming,
it rings in my ears.
Reverberating again,
so I relive my fears.
Oh, Merriam Webster,
I do consult thee.
Sirens sounding outside,
my discordant symphony.
I'm never screaming, my pen.
Don't think me impolite.
But I write of the silence
I'd love to hear tonight.
Tomorrow, I'll glow.
I'll be happy and smiling.
Though the radio frequency
leaves a feeling like dying.
I can't take the screaming,
to reverberate in my ears.
I lock up my emotions,
I spill out these black tears.
it rings in my ears.
Reverberating again,
so I relive my fears.
Oh, Merriam Webster,
I do consult thee.
Sirens sounding outside,
my discordant symphony.
I'm never screaming, my pen.
Don't think me impolite.
But I write of the silence
I'd love to hear tonight.
Tomorrow, I'll glow.
I'll be happy and smiling.
Though the radio frequency
leaves a feeling like dying.
I can't take the screaming,
to reverberate in my ears.
I lock up my emotions,
I spill out these black tears.

this one is really personal..(: confession: I read through the dictionary alot. And my house is always full of screams. But I think I'm okay.. this is an old poem, it came along before I learned to ignore it.
