Screams

I'm screaming
My voice is hoarse
My throat rubbed raw
The moisture that once filled my mouth
Leaks out of my eyes
But my mask hides the wetness
So nobody can tell
I'm screaming

I'm screaming
My head is throbbing
My ears are ringing
The pain once in my heart has spread
Snaking it's way through my body
But my clothing hides it
Nobody can see
I'm screaming

I'm screaming
My hands sting
My arms are exhausted
Walls that used to shield me from harm
Are crushing me beneath them
But my smile hides the bruises
Nobody feels that
I'm screaming

I'm screaming
My legs can't hold me up
My neck is going to snap
The cotton they stuffed in their ears
They got it in my throat too
They try to block it out
They don't want to know
I'm screaming

I'm screaming
My heart is aching
My lungs are sore
Bones and skin and muscle cover them
Nobody can hear
I'm screaming

I'm screaming
Nothing makes sense
It's all a blur
I'm screaming

I'm screaming
Drowning in this agonizing sound
That fills my mouth
I'm screaming

I'm screaming
I can't swim
I'm screaming

I'm screaming
I'm screaming

I keep on screaming
