Screaming

I am screaming
though not out loud,
inside my head
there stands a crowd.

Through my mind
the memories flash,
round and round
the whispers dash.

Drifting in space
the night's too much,
so i find myself
quite out of touch.

The dark and shadows
hides the face,
but i find it's your
voice i place.

What can I do
to shut it out,
to stop the feelings
as they mount?

Pain and pressure
head to head,
just because
I've gone to bed.

Just because
the lights are out,
hear each voice
scream and shout.

Feel me tremble
mind shuts down.
Sit and watch
my sanity drown.

I am screaming
though not out loud
inside my head
there stands a crowd.
