SO I scream

.

By CotardDelusionzPublished 2 years ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

My voice feels so far away

I can't hear myself

With each word

My throat strains

No louder than the rain

It feels in vain

I wonder what took my breath away

My voice feels so far away

I can't hear myself

Each word seems to be swept away

By their looks of disdain

I pray

For the rain

To wash me away

Where's my voice

Who is speaking

I can't tell if it's coming from within me

Can you hear me?

I can't hear myself

My voice seems to only get quieter

But against my will, I'm a fighter

So I scream

And scream

Till my nose bleeds

Till the fire in my heart ceases

And I can no longer breathe

I scream with every part of me

Till there's nothing left within me

But the weight of my own empty body,

and the thought that-

No one heard me.
