Lately it feels
I may as well be yelling into a void
The me you see is not me
It is just your projection
So you tie me up in knots
Thinking you will either
Protect or free me
Superiority is sickening
Those who adopt that defensive pose
Just are in flight from the hidden depths
Of their own shadow
All they see around are demons
Since they clearly cannot face their own
And yet even as it feels a blessing to feel for
The weak that suffer
At times there is a need to know
How tough and cruel and absolute
Are the natural ways of this world
Human minds just tend to naturally
Split and divide
Never clarify the complex
Feeling depths
And when this happens
Life becomes so precarious
As we tetter on the edge
Of that agonizing precipice
And sadly the cause and cure to our pain
Is often sought without
By those invested in blaming
The problem upon
Everybody else
Emerging From The Dark Night 
I think we all have yelled or screamed into a void. I know I have, and I found that for myself, what works is if a voice is unheard, it does no good. So I have had to sometimes just stifle myself, shake my head, and walk away, or better yet, run. It takes too much effort to yell into a void and still no one hears.

Sometimes people have to go through some hard knocks themselves to begin to be able to show a loved one any kind of true empathy.
