Why do I hear people screaming my name,
calling out to me.
Desperate pleas,
despair-ridden cries,
sorrowful, pitiful, agonizing.

"$&#%!"
they call out to me
"$&#%, please!"
they scream in tears.
Why are they crying out to me?

I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...
Please don't cry.
I'll be okay,
I promise.
