I Am Listening To My Internal Scream

Scolding Lecture

By: Sylphy

Written on April 22nd, 2012

Whispers of the heart...
I use this phrase a lot...

I did not hear mine.
And before long
Those whispers turned into screams.
It was deafening.
And I'd cover my ears with my hands
To block off the shrilling wail.
It never helped.
The more I try to stop the shrieking
The more the clamour grinds into me.
It was a never-ending battle.

I drowned in the howling din of my heart
Because I refused to listen
Because I refused to know
Because I was afraid.

There would still be sounds my heart makes
Nowadays
I hear its whimpers
I understand its whines
I have opened my heart

And the whispers tell the faerie
"Don't let me scream at you again".

There once was a faerie that had two sweet little Mary's. . .

That sounds like something TH should write.

I've read this about 5 times, and I still don't have a comment except what I always say when you write.

Perfectly lovely. :)

Just like the journey of a lifetime starts with a single step, maybe the message of your life starts with a single whisper ...?
