scream

(let it all out)

if i scream in the woods, and nobody is around to hear it-

will i get full release?

screaming at home is no good, the neighbors would think my husband is hurting me and call the police.

it occurred to me to go the park, but how can i get deep enough in the woods and not get lost so i can scream in peace for full blessed relief?

screaming into a pillow just isn't the same.

all those years growing up & living in the country though my forties, it's such a shame.

i had the space to scream and let it all out, now i go without.

i turned to running then; maybe i should revisit that again?

no no no-

i don't want to shout at you or give myself over to juvenile tantrums.

that would be lame.

it's nothing like that, it's just

life has built up in me,

some relief only comes with a good-

SCREAM!!!!!!

This is prompted by life, things we all go through.

For the last ten years or so, I was a full time caregiver. First to my Father in law with dementia and then for my dear sweet Mother in her final days. She was and is an angel. Nobody deserved to suffer at the end of their days as she did.

I lost my dear Brother not long before loosing my Mother.

I'm grateful I was able to be there to care for them.

I'm still recovering.

Wait!

What if we organized a day to scream?

Turn it into an unofficial holiday for creatives, poets, writers and all artist? For anyone and everyone?!

One day, one time- we go outside and scream at the top of our lungs!

Could we shift the world in a better direction?

I don't know, but wouldn't we all feel better?
