Analysis of Screams in the Night



Summer days
Come and Go
Oh how much joy
Were those days
The carefree
The hopeful
But the times changed
Oh so fast
Sun done
Moon out
The darkness cover us
With cries of the lonely
The screams of the needy
Under the dark sky
No dreams
No chances
Survive the waves
Of overpowering thoughts
How can one make it?
I heard a voice
Through Thy mist
A little but oh so mightly voice
That yelled,"Stay strong little one"
I looked up to sky
Amazed to see
That stars has arisen
To such heights
A dream had formed
A yell have to be screamed
A change must be heard
