Stifled Pain
Can't breathe
silently suffocating
as the guilt devilishly strangles me
confusion, distrust, infinite questions
swirling around in my head
like the numbers in a bingo drum
chasing, haunting
the thoughts permeate day and night
plaguing me in my dreams
there is no escape
my silent screams echo inside
can no one hear?
I speak
No, not now
the pain still remains
behind the smile.
