Monster

the screaming just won't stop
it lives between my ears
its tears and sobs keep me up
its lonely weeping makes me shake
why does no one hear the screaming
coming and going through out these 
years
I've lost my own voice
lost while begging it to stop
does no one ever notice
notice when I hide away
this tiny little monster
it lives within my brain
some days it lays quiet
nestled sleeping in a dream
other days it's violent
screaming with all it's might
this tiny little monster
I wish I could befriend
but this little monster 
It doesn't know my words
