Scream from Melting Stencils by Nora Knapp

When I want to get away
From the voices that, every day
Say the things that I don't want them to say

There's a place I like to go
Between our two garage doors
She meets me there without a word, and we

Play and laugh and say the things
That we can't say anywhere else
That we can't say in any way else
That we can't say to anyone, anyone else
We scream

When the weather's nice enough
And it's usually nice enough
We sit beneath the big oak tree and draw pictures
In the dirt

And play and laugh and say the things
That we can't say anywhere else
That we can't say in any place else
That we can't say in any way, any way else
We scream

The world gets awful loud sometimes
I have to shout and repeat myself
But with her
I never have to say a word twice

And when the rules have gone away
No silver fork on no silver plate
I know
That her smile
Will remain
We scream
