Whispers in the dark
Won't let me be.
Just let me fade away
Please set me free.
I'm drifting.
I'm falling.
A new voice
Is calling.
Rough hands too hairy
You laugh
Eyes insane.
I scream and scream.
Can't make a sound.
Still screaming in my brain.
Cant live.
Can't die.
Can't move.
Another wakes
And roars
from it's cage.
Bite
Claw
Kick
Breathe!
ROAR!
Killit! Killit!
Kill the killer.
Kill the laughter.
Kill the Laugher.
Breathe! Fight! Live!
The whisperer goes.
The whispers stay.
Cannot sleep.
Too many whispers
In the dark.

This started out rhyming, but as it flowed out of me, it went a bit spastic.

Thank you for your entry
I could see this as it relates to child abuse. The abused speaking out about the abuser torment that leads to insanity and loss of everything.
Good luck, I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.
God Bless

Oh this gave me chills. It really reveals what an innocent child would be feeling in that dark hole where it seems nobody can reach to save. I can only begin to imagine how difficult this would have been to write yet probably beneficial in some way by facing the emotions that have been locked away. Very very touching write. I especially was moved by 'too many whispers in the dark'. Extremely sad but very well written.

I like it
Its almost lyrical,
weird but dark and gripping,
makes you think, its always a good thing

Thank you so much for your comment. It's about as close as I think I've gotten to putting into words this particular moment in my life.
