If the room erupts in screams
Every voice together.
Do you hear my screams?
Do you feel my terror?
No
Not because I'm not loved
Or because of less horror.
It's only that I'm quiet
And other screams are louder.
No
Not because of others
That's just human nature.
Because I scream silently
Hope I'll save you torture.
No
As floor falls beneath our feet
I hold on for my turn.
Instead erupt in fire
I was meant to burn.
No
If the room erupts in screams
Every voice together.
Can you hear me screaming?
Can you feel my torture?
No.
