Screaming in your face
You hardly hear a sound
You ask me what is wrong?
Can you hear me now.
I scream my pain
To which you ignore
Do you even notice when I’m in the room anymore?
I’m the loudest voice in the room
Yet it falls to deaf ears
No one hears what I’m screaming about
I’m all alone in my fears.
I scream about my pain.
I screams turns into tears.
I scream about my struggles but no one hears.
I smile through my pain.
I laugh at what’s hidden beneath.
Surrounded by a crowd of people.
Is anyone really listening?
They sing along and scream over me.
My scream over powers theirs to which they cheer me on.
Not listening to a word I say
Can you still hear me now.
