Primal Screams
In Small Occurrences
By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 8 months ago • Updated 8 months ago • 1 min read
I imagine the pinhead
That tears open the door
Spilling the unsaid
Flooding over the floor
Releasing how I feel
All at once, bursting free
Exposing what’s real
A raw, primal scream
That once, held by a thread
All it took was a nudge
Shaking the thoughts in my head
Stirring toxic dust
Severing the silence
With little intent
Trauma sourced response
By the things I never said

Will a primal scream ever be enough to shake all the dust?
Such a great quote to be inspired by, and a wonderful entry for the challenge, Kelli <3
So real, let it all out…give you peace afterward and release. Love how you describe the feeling. Excellent relatable poem.
Yes, we want to get rid of all that pent up frustration. Love the primal metaphor-leaves a raw sensation of what happens when feelings are trapped.
