SCREAM

ever have the need to just scream?

to push and shove and get away from it

to curl up at night and shriek into your pillow

to tighten every muscle and shake and scream

I BREATH

ever have the urge to just smile?
to forget the sideways glances and giggle
to catch an eye and remember
to be completely content, even for just a moment

I HOPE

ever have the need to cry?
to feel the sting of loss and death
to be swallowed by the hole of pain
to abandon each hidden tear, until you are dry

I HURT

ever have the urge to explore?
to inspect and examine the contents within
to ask and wonder... who? what? where?
to sneak and open that locked door

I QUESTION

ever have the need to run?
to pump and sweat and hurt and go
to dart and dash and race and run, run away
to push, press on and never ever be done

I GROW

ever have the urge to love?
to adore and burn and finally touch
to hold and whisper perfect bliss
to throw your head back and sing to heavens above

I WANT
