One Soul's War

Abandoned, trapped by words that
wish to escape my mind,
But fear prevails over the whispers
in angst of what thy heart will find,
Constant silent mayhem of deafening screams
linger where I listen,
Forseen hurt becomes a mighty beast
caged by words that are unwritten,
Speak only the truth 
not knives of anger,
For wounds always heal 
but scars forever linger,
Right wrong yes no 
you or me she or he,
Am I living a vivid dream
or drowning in my dreaded reality?
