From my outward appearance you would say
I was okay
But my body is an all out struggle
And I can’t imagine continuing in this way!
I’ am compelled to yell!
Outwardly, I may appear fine
Like woman who is experiencing weight gain
A possible hormonal change
Should I share my story or refrain?
I’ am compelled to yell,
That this well is dry!
All I can do is shake my head in disbelief!
What an unfortunate circumstance, is my cry!
I’ am compelled to yell!
If that will get my point across
To express that I’ am at a loss
When will this be lifted?
When will seasons change?
How much longer will I be sifted?
I’ am compelled to yell!
Compelled to obtain and hold your attention
To convince
Persuade
Maybe invade
Your comfort zone
Say something that hits close to home
That may cause you to pick up the phone
Call and apologize or to stop telling that lie
To believe
To hope again
To forgive an old friend
With a family member make amends
I’ am compelled to yell
To become emotional
To connect
To affect
Compelled to yell!
