Souls Cry

There is an emptiness inside me
filled with a silent scream
A void pulling it all in
my life and my dream

The voice inside
screaming out
its angst and
its plea

Expectations are too many
Not all of them mine
Not enough time for all
Nor enough to feel alive

Bowed down by our cross
Nailed up by the societal walls
Dreams bleeding out of us
Seeped into treacherous mud

The soul within
screaming loud
Let me out
Let me out
