Cry of silence

Cry of silence


Agitation is consuming my mind from all around,
voices in my head are beginning to pound.
Please don’t speak, I need to breathe.
Suffocation taking over my last breath.
No one can hear my cry for help,
through my whispers in the night.
Unable to stand on my own two feet,
alone, the demons I must defeat.
My body still alive, my mind on overdrive.
Do I dare close my eyes to lay my head down to rest?
If it’s that time, I guess it’s for the best.
Once again my body suffocated,
Cackling I hear, are not of this world.
Visions of beings, I see are blurred.
With all my strength I yell, only to make not a sound,
no one hears, not even those around.
Being left alone to deal with my own instability,
I begin to wonder if escaping is a possibility.
Will I ever escape from my inner demons?
The ones I hear about in sermons.
They keep taunting me, calling for me.
Do I have the strength to resist?
Agitation is consuming my mind from all around,
Voices in my head are beginning to pound.
It’s time now for another round.
