Bees buzz beneath the skin
Causing a scream to bubble within
An eruption of noise escapes my lips
My eyes squeeze shut as I throw my fit
Alone, alone, alone in my agony
Trapped within an endless tragedy
My voice cries out, exhausted and hoarse
Begging and pleading, but it only gets worse
I fight and I try to do all that I can
But no one understands, I no longer know where I am
A mind so overwhelmed and consumed with horror
No peace to be found in this endless torture
Everyday is a battle, every night is a war
My mind is exhausted and my body is sore
The memories fade and the panic decreases
The terror within finally eases
With a deep breath, my eyes open wide
Wondering how I'll continue to survive
This panic is normal, something I'll never overcome
To survive the day, everything goes numb
Don't tell, don't touch, don't get too close
Despite how connection is what I crave most
I'm fine, it's fine, it can never be known
These memories inside will never be shown
