"Silent Screams"
Just left the poker game, which wasn't strange in the winter
I took home the pot by catching a straight on the river
Exhausted, the excitement of hold em left me lethargic
Eyelids strugglin to stay open basically makin me carsick
Rolled down the windows to start with, turn up the music
But my mind and body wanted sweet dreams for amusement
I Started to lose it, it felt like my mind was broken
It Took so much energy to keep my heavy eyelids pried open
Exhaustion beat will power, now I'm facin the facts
That all control is literally gone as I faded to black
Those seconds seemed like hours, but a sound so shreek
Instantly awoken me as I my car wrapped around a tree...
Broken glass, the smell of gas - car is in monstrous shape
The sound of sirens amazingly brought me to a concious state
Felt like my eyes were open as my ears were tuned to sirens
But blackness was my palat, are they open or is it my eyelids?
Fear instantly took over, which probably sedated the pain
With countless scenarious of what happened pacing my brain
Am I blind, paralyzed, dead? I Might end up in a test tube
But the sound of footsteps were paramedics to the rescue
They asked me to speak to see if I was conscious on the onset
So I immediately let out a yelp, now enough with the nonsense
Then a long silent pause, until I heard one say “Unresponsive!”
Didn’t he hear me scream? Man I’m shocking and numb
This time I let out a scream, from the top of my lungs
I’m right here, I’m fine!! I said scared with a positive laugh
“This kid hasn’t moved an inch…he needs a hospital fast!!”
Is this a joke? I just said I’m ok - just a little shaken up!!!!
Next thing I knew, I could hear them loading me in the vacant truck
Sirens blasting, a speeding ambulance with beeping devices
“I can’t find any injuries, don’t understand why this kid is lifeless”
I tried to wave my arms and kick my feet, with a meaningful focus
Screamed as loud as I could – but nobody seemed to notice!!!
I don’t understand, hours ago I was good and laughin
As I strained my brain….I finally understood what happened...
Comprehending this was absolutely terrifying, a divisive pain
I had an active brain that is trapped inside a lifeless frame
I’m held hostage by my own body, my defense is steering
But how do I communicate, only left with a sense of hearing
On the inside I was screaming, but I had a loss of focus
Paranoia developed as I became increasingly claustrophobic
This skeleton had me trapped, will I be defected forever?
So frustrating when your mind and body aren’t connected together!
Doctors spoke to my parents, I heard “death is probable”
Killed me to hear my mother, weeping next to me in the hospital
“Mom, talk to me, I can hear you….give me a hug!!!!!!!!”
I lost most of my senses, but I would never lose my love
Dying to just be able to speak, to tell my mom I love her
But I’m poundin on the walls of my skull, beginning to suffer
Tortured by merely thoughts, but how could I bother
I heard the sound of a kiss and the words “I love you” from my father
“I love you too Dad” I yelled…..from this unsettling dimension
Knowing there was absolutely nothing I could do to get their attention!
My mother was hysterical, she was hurting deep inside
Heard doctors speaking how…’’life support is keeping him alive’’
The sounds of tears were present as my mom said ‘’one last hug’’
I screamed “Last?!?!” in my prison….”Please, don’t pull the plug”
But as I heard strange noises and mumbles, just sitting right there
My mind came to ease because death would end this living nightmare
My silent screams subdued, my skull now had room to grow
As I took some time to say goodbye to this life I used to know
