Screaming

I'm screaming 

Can't you hear me
 
I smile and wave
Laugh at a joke
 
Tears are streaming down my face
My soul is wracked with sobs
 
I start a test
Pick up a pencil
 
I clutch my head between my knees
The world is falling beneath me 
The sky is on the ground
Water in the air
My screams deafen my own ears
The hole in my chest 
Is pouring blood
Soaking my life 
Please get me out of this nightmare 
PULL ME OUT
I CAN'T STAY HERE ANYMORE 
CAN'T YOU HEAR THE DAMN SCREAMING
 
I put down the pencil
Smile through the day
And later that night
Pick up a gun
 
My smile is broken now
Just like the rest of me
