I tell you i hear the screams, <br />echoing silently throughout my mind, <br />i plead for you to hear their words, <br />as they whisper in my ear, <br /> <br />can you hear the voices? <br /> <br />i tell you i see people, <br />standing watching in the corners, <br />lidless eyes stare relentlessly, <br />burrowing into my soul, <br /> <br />can you see them? <br /> <br />i tell you i feel it, <br />the itching burning in my blood, <br />a feeling skin is but a prison, <br />redness within crying out to be free, <br /> <br />can you feel the pain inside? <br /> <br />dont leave me in the dark, <br />screaming in the night, <br />trying to be free, <br />alone lost to madness. <br /> <br />can you even hear me? ......<br /><br />Peter Madden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-hear-the-screams/
