POETRY

Games

I wish I could scream at you

Until my throat grows raw and sore

My ears ring

My face reddens 

I wish I could scream at you

This is not a game

I am a real person

But I would only be screaming into my own abyss

You have never known empathy

Compassion

Happiness

Nor the strength that it takes to love someone with your whole heart

And for that, I pity you

So I spare you my screams every day

I just wish you could realize how hard that is
