Can you hear the thrashing sounds

Of turbulence in me

Rising deep in my chest

Crashing in my womb

Can you hear the agony

Of knives piercing in me

Pushing their way through the flesh

Stirring up my pain

Let me scream

Please

Let me howl past my distant shreds of dignity

Let me tear

Please

Let me rip apart this façade of coolness

Can't you see through the fancy words

The complexion of merriment

Can't you see the darkness lurking

So deep it cuts and stings

Strip me down to

The empty stone statue

All asphyxiates have been worn off

Can I still see smiles from here on?

Let me cry

Please

Let me weep into the pale moonlight

Let me sleep

Please

Let me dream of the light that enters

And shuns off all the obscurity
