    Silence of the scream

    This Moorish existence triumph we are none

    Barley able to cast off the dark shadows of the smoking gun

    I awake much too late for idyll speech

    The darkness hardens as my path turns to an unreachable steep

    This mood, this strange unfriendly stranger

    Follows me like a mounted ranger

    My every step it has me in its sights

    I cannot talk for fear of dark nights

    I try to placate, but it has none of that

    I turn my shape into a dog, but it finds me as a cat-

    On tiny feet I sneak pass the peril

    Holding my breath for it so easy for me to

     Come un-railed

    Each day holds a new beginning

    Some days have angels, and some have sinners            

    I carry the cross for all my bad behaviors

    Calling on my luck as an old friend for a favorite

    Save me from the wrath of this tornado

    For in the eye of the storm I generally stand

    Waiting for the wind to blow away-and someone

    To take

    My hand-

    For evermore I only wonder

    For which I did, for which I blunder

    Each day as the sun does rise I am shielding

    My visage not knowing which tone I am fielding-

    It comes at great expense, to my psyche

    What may come in the delicate morning

    O my pace is quicken and my mind slows down

    Each day brings a new burden upon my crown

    Despite a few grammatical b.s. I like this piece very much. Your words visualize meanings that I definitely can relate to. Nice job . a 10 from me

    Considing its about you thanks

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
