Whisper When I Scream

I am nothing but I am something

I whisper when I scream

look behind the curtain

things aren’t always what they seem

 

An insomniac’s dream is sleep

a hate monger’s love is me

my dark shades have fallen

I am blind and now I see

 

I am nothing but I am something

I whisper when I scream

tear away the curtain

things are never what they seem

 

My head is pounding from the silence

there’s so much air I can’t breathe

there’s so much to say that I can speak no more

and I’m so tired that I can’t sleep

 

I am nothing but I am something

I whisper when I scream

I keep it all together so well

that it’s tearing at the seams

 

It’s not all contradiction

It’s  a shade of reddish green

I’m filthy with sobriety

Your shit will make me clean

 

I am nothing but I am something

I whisper when I scream

I can feel my broken heart

so real just like a dream

 

I lay on the ceiling

awaiting the infinite end

I love my self-hatred

and hate my beloved friends

 

I am nothing but I am something

I whisper when I scream

I never needed shit from you

so please just Help Me
