Day 2.

Unaware.

From the inside
come the screams.
They will never be
heard by you.
They are almost not even
heard by me.
After years of
ignoring & suppressing,
they have learned
their place.
Though sometimes
They forget and
make themselves known.
Bubbles of emotion
simmer beneath
the calm surface.
You may notice
the occasional slight
rise in temperature.
You will ignore it,
downplay it because
you won't understand it.
You will have no idea
why it is.
The simmer will weaken
and the bubbles will
once again disappear.
The screams muffled
for another day.
