In this thundrous, echoing world?
Can nobody hear my pleas?
I'm soundproof screaming.
I cried so loud
And scramed so hard.
I was so exhausted
But nobody heard me,
In my dark manhole of despair.
I clawed at the edges, trying to get out,
I tried to show you all how I really felt
But you all passed me by.
You didn't notice me.
I was invisible to you.
i tried to run
But my feet were glued to the floor.
I opened my mouth,
My heart beating so loud,
I tried to scream,
But no sound came.
I was so scared
But nobody cared
Because none of you ever noticed.
Now I lie here in a pool of sweat and blood,
Shivering in a fever,
Because it ill never go away.
But still, I am here, lonely:
You'll never come to me.
I'll be here forever.
Just please, come and rescue me.
