Can't Stop


I can't stop screaming,
I'm afraid of no sound.
I can't stop falling,
Afraid of hitting the ground.
They say I'm out of touch,
With the real world, reality.
But the reality of it is,
The world is out of touch with me.
I don't sleep anymore,
I've been awake a thousand nights.
I'm trapped in endless darkness,
Can't seem to find the lights.
How I long for sleeps refuge,
For the comfort of dreams.
But all that come are nightmares,
I'm doomed to this it seems.
I've built a secret world,
That I can go to in my head.
I lay there for hours,
Going back is what I dread.
It's like a splash of icy water,
Like rocks beating my brain.
Leaving my secret world,
Is like getting hit by a train.
The voices in my head,
Are taking over slowly.
I try to keep control,
Of them showing the real me.
And suddenly I'm outside,
In the real world, in the cold.
I stand, a broken person,
In the middle of the road.
I turn in time to see the headlights,
Moving swiftly in the rain.
No time to run away,
No time to feel the pain.
I've stopped screaming,
And there is no sound.
I've stopped falling,
Finally hit the ground.
