Skies were dark, gray, and cloudy,
all alone, I screamed so loudly.
Silenced ears heard sharp sounds made,
all alone, feeling insane.
Surrounded by laughing toys,
all alone, my screams deployed.
No one heard a word I said,
all alone, holding my head.
No one notices my eyes,
all alone, my screams are high.
Everyone dancing so free,
all alone, scream on my knees.
Skies were bright the sun arrived,
all alone, my screams survived.
Learning how to heal inside,
all alone, old tears ran dry.
Felt a presence, say hello,
all alone, my scream hummed low.
Instant ease feeling great care,
all alone, no longer scared.
Opened up my beating heart,
all alone, my screams depart.
Precious gift sent from above,
all alone, found inner love.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
