Insidious

I know the Bible says REJOICE
but still I have lost my PEACE

silence has become my loudest SHOUT,
because of the screaming voices within me I couldn't let OUT

fear and anxiety invaded my HEART
while pain and sadness ensnared my MIND
maybe that's why I feel so Lost
cause they all marked me from BEHIND

I don't understand myself ANYMORE
because of what I have been THROUGH
silence has become my new NORMAL
cause my voice has failed to escape my darkest inner ROOM

please don't laugh at me when am silent 
cause it wasn't my CHOICE
pain made me shout out the loudest
and since then I have lost my VOICE

yes, I still hear the cries of my soul deep WITHIN
trapped BETWEEN
the horrific walls of heart with scarry emotional ENGRAVINGS

Stop! people for once just listen to ME
Silence is turning me into a beast and am no longer who I used to BE

Lord come to my aid sooner or my chest will BURST
cause pain,sadness, and stress has filled it to the FULLEST

I am indeed helpless,

afraid to look even in the mirror cause it reflects my WORST 
now I have finally opened up that when it comes to pretending, am just not the BEST

back then my mouth used to be wide open like the uncovered POT
shouting too much while my peaceful personality began to ROT

But I am now tired of hearing internal CRIES
so I have to go in and make peace with the VOICES
