Can They,Can'T They

Can they hear the words inside my head? 
The thoughts being spoken the things being said 
Can they see the things I see? 
Are they real or imagined is it just me
 
Can they understand the turmoil I'm in ?
 
My mind races now from one thought to another 
Can’t they realise all this I’m trying to smother 
I see myself in my very own dream 
Can’t they see and can’t they hear my scream
 
These sights and sounds this uneasy sensation 
Can I stop this madness of my own creation? 
I just need some sense some clarity 
Can’t they see I need peace and serenity?
 
I need to move forward and find inner peace 
Can’t they see I want these imaginings to cease 
Words thoughts and deeds come again to me 
Can’t they realise from all of this I need to be free
 
I’m crying inside from deep within my soul 
Can’t they see I need to get out of this bottomless hole? 
I choose not this life it’s not of design 
Can they hear them the voices coming back so to this I resign?

Can someone help me ?
Can't someone make this stop ?
