 Penciled Thoughts

Quiet Screams


Its finally coming to me as I sleep upon this bed.
Quietness screams at my soul instead of in my head.
My labored breathing Echoes up and down the hall.
I feel like I am shrinking in I feel so very small.

Slumber helps my walking as I stumble on my way.
Now the screams are silent I don't know what to say.
My dreariness surrenders me it put me right to sleep.
 The lighting flashes brightly into my mind it seeps.

The peaceful music's drifting like fog across the room.
The sun reached out to warm me on this winter afternoon.
Back to my sleep I wander, to catch up on my dreams.
Living in this fantasy where nothing's what it seems.

A sharp chill smashes through me stiffens all my bones.
No warmth is found in a place I cannot call my own.
Quietness comes rumbling and I know what that means.
The door flings open loudly the returning of the scream.

With its incessant laughter it takes my breath away.
Once again I lose my mind forgetting what to say.
Slowly I become aware I'm glad I see the light.
Lets me know in calmness I made it through last night.
