Conversing Within

Sound so softly yet audible enough to hear
          The spectrum of words echoing between each ear
              The voice gone unheard yet heard perfectly clear 
                  Something within you now has become full of fear

                  When the little hairs stand up straight in attention
                  The mind automatically goes into a mode of prevention
                  As the evil lurks around you ponder its intention
                  Lost within the abuse of all the words never mentioned

                  The stomach muscles tighten as the panic starts to arise
             Calm down the inner sickness, deep breath, shallow sighs
         Fighting to regain control as your anxiety slowly dies
     Clarifying the truth out of the sound that whispered lies
