My brain wants me to scream
but my mouth won’t let me.
My brain wants me to weep
but my eyes won’t let me.
My brain wants my heart to pound
but my chest won’t let it.
My brain wants my arms to flail
but my shoulders won’t let them.
My brain wants my feet to run
but my legs won’t let them.
My brain wants me to break
so my soul cries out to pray.
To ask God not to let it.
I breathe.
I write this poem.
I pray.
I sit with God
in silence.
