Those screaming
  filled me with fear.
Why am I still here?
The voice inside my head,
awful things were said.

They whispered,
"Sleep, darling. Do not fret."
Yet the words they spoke
made me upset.

My demons drowned me.
I couldn't breathe.
I tried to get up.
But they just wouldn't stop.

I suffocate in their presence
Why couldn't they just stop?
I need help, good heavens.
I need to wake up.
