Fighting Your Screaming Demons

Someone screams STOP someone screams NO 
You look around yet no one is there so 
You turn and walk with your head down 
Noticing the screams weren't from another's soul 
But you're own 

Bathroom time and you sit alone 
Waiting for the bell to ring for your next class 
As you cry 

The screams are getting louder 
And your heart whispers for help 
But no one can hear you 

The screams say you're no good 
They say you can't do nothing right 
They give you a gun to the temple 
And say you should just disappear into the night
