The Scream Within

Way in the back of my darkened closet In behind the hanging unused clothes Youll find me crouched down on my knees Hiding from Inner torment no one knows. I clasp my hands tightly over my ears To drown out the constant high pitch roar I beg to God thru streams of tears I just cant take it anymore. The tender heart within my soul Screams for just a morsel of inner peace Sometimes hours and days go missing Until i collapse and find release. I used to drown it out with firewaters Until i numbed myself to sleep But it had a vice grip on my dreams Where the nightmares run to deep. My God dear Lord of Mercy Please hear my desperate pleas Please come and rescue me from me Please come and set me free.
