Chapter 2 - Silence

I am screaming

I want to scream some more

In these woods,

this dark and forsaken place

Where i reside alone

Or at least I think I do

As no one seems,

to hear the screams,

the cries, the pleads,

the begging and praying

that I not be alone anymore

I stop for a moment to listen

To look for any sign that

My screams have been heard

Nothing

Just the eerie silence

That envelops me always

When I stop

Alas, once again

I am screaming
