A Call for Screams

I carry a cave

within my heart

where I go to

sometimes hide

I prefer not to hear

the sound of my own screams,

the think of it –

they’re out to get me

to destabilize my equilibrium

shadows of discovery

and now I am found out.

I flee

and hide

my heart pounding

safe

or am I?

When my hideout is detected

I begin the screaming.
