Silent Scream - A Poem By Me

Silent Screams
by Natasha Hart 

Last night

I woke up screaming

It took my awhile 
to see I'd been dreaming

What do you do 
when nightmares taunt you? 

What do you do
When old fears haunt you?

What do you do
when the darkness scares you? 
When you don't 
feel 
safe 
in your own bed? 

You bottle the screams
the tears
the fevered dream,
Hold the words in,
walk head high
smile on

What can you do
but walk on? 
walk on
Hiding your pain
your fear
your tears
your nightmared dreams?
