Screaming in Silence

I promise to scream if I have to hear about another self indulgent alibi for polyamory I promise to scream if I have to to hear about another ignorant claim to people having no right to self defense but you see I have already not Screamed but exposed my crown to the icy cold fjord to keep a facade of calm to comfort those all around but I have to scream Because love should not be taboo and money not god but a means I do not abide by the sophist intricacies complicating things I’ve exposed myself to those ways and found out their deceit rots the heart and hollows out the mind trading the soul with time we never are returned such debts I have already screamed but had my mouth covered by someone I thought would love me forever I did not scream for all the things beyond my control and forgot my body could easily become someone else’s if I dared to trust and so I did anyway I took to risk and the cost And found myself loving again anyway Is it ok for me To tell the fool he is that If my heart doesn’t stop screaming God dammit Tell the truth because the lies are just too much and I do not longer want to cry.
