Screaming. Hollering and Shouting as if your Worst Fear was right in front of you. Screaming is the one thing that you hear over and over. It's not easy for others to understand exactly why you are screaming. After all, it is one of the Simplest Problems to take care of. Well, at least to "Normal" people it is. "Stop It! Stop Screaming!" Those are the words you hear over and over, not helping you one bit. It seems as though more Screaming just wants you to Scream more. You try to Stop but you Can't, so you hold a hand to your mouth or Holler into a pillow, a blanket, anything to just Stop. Hot tears falling down your face and mucus dripping down your nose. You Can't help it. You don't even notice that that is happening because all you can do is Scream. They can't understand why, so they continue to Yell. "Calm Down! Stop it!" You Can't. You're trying to Breathe, trying to get air to continue to Scream. Yet, you try too hard and you are Gagging now. Stopping for a few seconds to Cough and clear your throat. You can't Scream and throw up of the same time after all. Covering your face you don't want to See anyone else. Covering your ears to shut out all the Noise; to not hear yourself Scream. Your body goes limp and you are on the floor now, trying to Breathe, trying to Stop. One thought passes through your mind, just one simple thought. The only thing you can think of while everyone is there staring at you.
