SILENT SCREAMS

TO LIVE MY LIFE IN AN ATTIC

TO WITHER, TO SMOTHER, TOO TIGHT

TO NEVER FEEL SUNSHINE OR RAIN

TO TIPTOE THROUGHT LIFE WITHOUR LIGHT

'WHAT'S DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE,

BUT WE CAN PREVENT IT HAPPENING AGAIN.'

MY LIBERTY, MY FREEDOM, HANGING

STOPPED IN TIME LIKE FROZEN RAIN

BUT NO-ONE TOLD MIND AND BODY

TO HALT UNDER FEAR AND STRAIN.

'WHAT'S DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE,

BUT WE CAN PREVENT IT HAPPENING AGAIN.'

SPILLING FORTH MY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS

TRAPPED INSIDE A ROOM CONSTRAIN

GROWING WHILST SHRINKING IN MY CAGE

WONDERING HOW LONG THEY WILL REIGN

'WHAT'S DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE,

BUT WE CAN PREVENT IT HAPPENING AGAIN.'

A GIRL CAN DREAM OF LONGINGS FORLORN

TEENAGE DREAMS, RUNNING THROUGH A VEIN

RED CHEEKS AT URGES SUPRESSED TO PAGES

AND WISHES I CAN NEVER OBTAIN

'WHAT'S DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE,

BUT WE CAN PREVENT IT HAPPENING AGAIN.'

O KITTY I FEAR THIS SUFFOCATION

PALE SKINNED IN DESPAIR WE WANE

BRIEF ESCAPES STARING AT HOLLYWOOD WALLS

DELUSIONS REALISIED BY NEARING PLANES

'WHAT'S DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE,#

BUT WE CAN PREVENT IT HAPPENING AGAIN.|'

'PAPER HAS MORE PATIENCE THAN PEOPLE'

MY PEN'S PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN

EACH CRISIS LEAVES DARKNESS DESCENDING

WITH APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS AND TRAIN

'WHAT'S DONE CANNOT BE UNDONE,

BUT WE CAN PREVENT IT HAPPENING AGAIN.'
