Stop

Homicidal, suicidal, in denial
Where does it start?
Where does it stop?
Voices screaming, calling
Finally whispering, 
Whimpering
Nowhere to run
Too hard to hide
Thoughts running all day,
All night, never letting you get
Sleep, much less rest.
Running so hard in your dreams
That you wake up sweating,
Screaming into the darkness, please
STOP!
