In a vacuum she seeks her heart.. Frozen with fear.. She finds No tomorrow.. She tastes.. She sees.. She feels Yet knows.. She is but an illusion.. She is a ray of light That reflects.. Emptiness.. Her capacity to trust. Grinds with torturous silent screams. All is halted.. Life stops.. People grow weary.. Deep dark memories.. Take bites of her soul.. From deep within.. A place she does not know.. She is but a reflection of a human.. Once she Could love.. Be loved.. Now distant in the wake of the roads of fate she has traveled.. Miles and miles.. She has walked.. This road of life.. To find.. She has to stop.. Barricaded .. Dead end The dead-end of her mind.. A memory She does not really know. Does not quite remember.. But there.. In the deepest places.. within her.. Desperately wanting out.. Wanting the pain to scream forth But her mind holds the secrets.. That her soul craves.. Yet fights and fears To finally be freed Simple peace with herself.. Has become her dream.

Erica, this is outstanding in every way...even the appearance of the poem is constricted, tightly bound, just how the "voice" in the poem must feel.

Rather profound, my dear Erica. It's wonderful that our poetry can 'scream' for us, where sometimes we ourselves fear to scream.
