Scream

They say,

It will make you feel relieved,

They say.

Wolves howl in the distance,

Dogs bark just outside the house

You scream in agony

of a broken heart.

And I watch you,

from a distance with distaste.

Cry,

Release your pain

They say.

Scream and hit,

It will make it easier

They say.

A cat whines outside the window,

You let it inside, ending his cries.

But the cat doesn;t move,

As you cry on your bed

Over words unsaid

And mistook actions.

I do whine,

About things that feel unfair

The same way the cat does.

I do bark,

When I feel treathened

The same way a dog does.

But I don't scream.

I can't scream my pain

And you get mad because I don't howl,

The same way a wolf does.

You get mad, and scream for me too

For I forgot how to howl,

Or I never learned.
