Quiet Riot
Within these 4 walls of mine
 a scream dwells, unreleased by
 imprisoned dimensions.
 
 I'm afraid to run away,
 because I don't think anyone
 would chase after me.
 
 An uprising settles in my veins
 but it only comes out in whispers
 I am the quiet riot--
 on the brink of solitude.
 
 You can't reach me
 unless you show me that you
 give a damn, chant with me:
 the injustices put out for us.
 
 I may worry too much,
 I may complain too much,
 and salvage every bit of self control I have left
 but I just might love too much.
 
 I am the breaking point
 between insane and sane.
 It's not like I haven't tried
 to look the part.
 
 My heart will start something 
 before my mind begins to see,
 all I wanted: was to break out.
