Megaphone

I scream from this megaphone, this God-given voice amplifier! It is a gift to me, but only works in a certain way ... backwards! It is clear that my megaphone was mis-created just for me. I shout words like: "help me!" It reverberates within me again. The words I incant, echo into me like I'm yelling down a canyon - to a passage that is within me - I hear a cry, but no one else does. I am a drum, an empty one, alone. I try to call out, but only cry within. The reverb attacks my sensibilities, and so I scream again in disgust ... But I only repulse myself; I'm alone. I call though, again, out to you ... Alone, I hear my echo'd cry for you.
