Scream

Scream

I'm hurdling down the tracks 
Heading straight into a brick wall.
I'm screaming into a closed tunnel 
Because no one cares at all.
I've asked for help, I've begged for help
All to no avail.
I've screamed into the darkness,
I might as well chase my tail.
I've tried to drink, tried not to drink,
But nothing works for me.
I only hear Shakespeare in my head,
"To be or not to be".

Lol, I actually have a poster of that very painting hanging in my laundry room. Seems appropriate. Thank you for the comment ??
