Scream Test
Scream
That sound assaults my dreams
Breaking through my skin and crawling up the wall
Watching me as my body falls
Shaking me entirely
Changing pitches
My eyes are wide
If you look closely, you take a look inside
You turn me upside down
You sip my idle mind
You taste my torment
It burns like rum going slowly down
Slipping, sliding…slowing down
Your throat
And you break this glass
You smash it on the counter
The taste wasn’t to your liking
But it is real
and you Founder
