The Echo Within

I scream to think that my needs are at will
My rugged smile keeps the façade at bay
The vulnerabilities at stake, the surroundings at gain
The saga of being keeps going by

I seem to think that as I walk
The screams within are bursting out
Enclosed at heart, it beats the drum
The only sound is the echo that comes

As I rocked the boat, the floating device
I stood at still, steady balance
The stance shaky, the distant support
The echo within kept bumping back

Abetting the silence, as echo gained
I climbed the shore, to walk again
The screams within still beating the drums
The only sound, was the echo within
