The Scream

Was thinking today
Of that famous painting
"The Scream"
By Edvard Munsch.
So I found it online,
Gazed at it,
Thought about it,
Wondered if
The screamer
Felt better afterwards?
Did he get it all out?
Catharsis achieved?
So I tried it.
Just SCREAMED.
Felt good 
For that moment
To let it out,
But now my throat really hurts,
And I'm still depressed,
And the box of Sucrets
I found in the medicine cabinet
Is empty.
Maybe it only works
For pivotal Expressionist painters.
Does anyone have a throat lozenge?
