Screaming

Can anybody hear it? It hurts. If only I could just cover my ears and make it stop, but covering my ears only makes it worse. I can't shut it out the sound is just too great to ignore. My agony is so strong that even as I try to bear it I run my hands through my hair tearing out increasingly large clumps of it. At this rate I shall be bald before I ever reach my prime. Surely someone else must hear it. I walk down the street passing people every second who do nothing, show no reaction to the sound, they act as if nothing is happening. Why won't it just stop and let me be? This ear piercing, pain inducing, heart tearing, death inviting sound rings through my head with every passing moment of every day. Why won't it stop? I lay here cradling myself and crying, praying that some god out there, some higher being will come to my side and comfort me. How can I not stop it? The sound exists within my head. Its is me that is making this sound, the sound of my screaming from within.
