People sensitive to the slightest of noise,

Do they not hear me scream?

Screams for help silenced within me.

I pick myself up, piece by piece

and I seldom seek help.

I whelve myself behind my shadows,

buried six feet deep still seeking an irenic life.

Can I survive this search for a cure?

Or should I suffocate,

adore the pain and let it win with pride?

My past apocalyptic, haunting.

My future, will it strive to exist?
