Hush Now

The voices get so loud

Echoing in my head

The worst part is

It’s no one else--just me instead

 

Inside I start to scream

Words flying indiscernibly

But the feelings are still there

Sitting without a name

 

My throat catches in a silent shriek

Around me, ancient floorboards creak

I wish I was in a rocking chair

To better hide this despair

 

But hush now

 

Please just hush now

 

Hush now

 

I’m here
