My Tortured Cries

Shush The Crying Child

These shadows torment me

I'm so scared and I don't know why

My chest is tense

I feel like I can't breathe

I want to throw up

I want to cry

I want to hide

What makes me wonder is that why do I feel the need to write it down

A legacy?

To be heard?

So I don't feel in vain

Yes that's it

Everything is going by so fast

It's scaring me

You say you know

That you get me

That you have been through enough to know

You have not known me

until you have to walk down a rainy street in the middle of the night because you can't go home

Until you have to go house to house each night because you don't have anywhere to sleep

Until you have been pulled over by the police past cerphew

And you can't say anything because

"what happens at home stays at home"

Until you have been kicked out of the house by the person you though would always be there for you

Until you're contemplating suicide when your ten years old

I'm curious for when someone will finally realize

I'm sick

That I am not normal

That I've been so sad for so long

When will they see my tears

I've been screaming for seven years now when is someone actually going to see

That I am sick

That I need help

Or it might have been already too late

And no one is caring about me because I'm inside my grave

Why do people try to forget the past

Because some people were left in the past and they were left alone
