Shout

I am alone in a room full of strangers

I have a fear of impending danger

But the funny part becomes that they don’t see me

They are partying and carrying on wild and free

I scream once and then again

Nothing no moment not even a friend

I scream more through the halls

But no return just my empty call

Suddenly a man with a cloth appears in front

He says you will fade away for you they won’t hunt

I fall to the ground crying please no

He just laughs in my face because he already knows

No they will not forget me I will continue to shout

My screams will go on till someone reaches out

So again I shout hear me see me people please look

But nothing I was the fish writhing on the hook

I tried to run

Hoping my impending doom would not come

I ran down a hall of mirrors and fright filled my eyes

I was slowly disappearing the man had told no lie

I cried and cried while he laughed

His vicarious laugh was making me mad

I scream no go away

And soon as I did that the whole room began to fade

I awoke and realized my eyes had been deceived

All this had been a bad nightmare I cant believe

I called everyone I know to see if they could hear

They found me crazy carrying on about this fear

I can hear you what do you mean

I smiled and laugh dear god thank you it was only a dream
