Scream
You do not have to be five feet tall
to scream, to run away, to save your life.
Scream to shatter the glass eye of a criminal.
Scream to rupture the eardrums of an intruder.
Scream to inflict aneurisms upon a drug infested brain.
Scream to be heard a block away.
Scream to cause three phone calls to 911.
Scream to gain power, to control the situation.
Scream to get time; mobilize; and run away.
Scream from your belly. Send electricity to your toes.
You do not need clothing to scream.
You do not need keys or a whistle to scream.
You do not need mace, noise makers, phasers, or guns.
You were born into this world screaming with a desire
to live. Live with that desire. Do not forget how to scream.
Scream at horror movies. Scream in amusement parks.
Scream in parked cars in the dark. Scream in broad
daylight. Life belongs to you and so does your scream.
