Silent Scream

The voice in my head,
screams itself hoarse,
"Help, I desperately need",
It screeches with force.

Every muscle, every bone,
Every tissue, every vein,
Cries to be heard,
Tortured, in so much pain.

Every nerve is calling out,
every tear pleading,
every gasp for breath,
every hope receding.

Please hear me scream,
the sounds have died down,
Let me live, let me breathe,
Please let me not drown.

Silent screams of help,
leave my eyes and frown,
Please listen to the pleas,
Please let me not drown.
