I want to scream
     but I'll only whisper.
I want to run
     but i'll stand there waiting.
I want to rip out my heart
lay it at your feet
open armed
open mind
totally exposed
hoping you'll take me in.
But i'll smile
     and walk away.
Comments and critique would be greatly appreciated.

This poem is about the dualism between what a person truly feels, as opposed to how they act in public, around friends and family who they do not wish to worry.

When you just want to scream for help, but not wanting to let loose your burdens on someone else.
