scream

I stand on the cliff
looking out at the raging water
but it's calm compared to
the anger raging inside of me

I hear the wind roaring
and I open my mouth
and scream, loud and long,
until my throat is raw

I scream at the world
I scream about my pain
my loneliness, my hurt
my disappointment

I scream until
my voice dies down
like the wind
but my inner voice
still howls with rage
