Within Me

Within me

Is a cry

So loud

So desperate

It could shake mountains

Trying to get out

To be heard

Bottled up

Seeping through the lid

If you listen closely

You could almost hear

See a glimmer of what was barely there

Then its gone

Quick as it came

Completely disappeared

Obliterated

To everyone

But me

I still hear it as loud as sirens

The endless wailing

The knocking on my soul

Searching for freedom

In the darkest of place

In a hopeless place

It resides

Getting stronger and stronger

Scratching at the walls of my insides

I beg it to stop

Ears bleeding

Begging

Pleading

Stop! Stop!

Please stop

Be free

Don’t live within me

See you and me

Just want to be free
