The Art of Existing

Can you see me?
Are you aware of these 
clashing entities that are 
rubbing my insides raw?

Extended appendages and 
inaudible screams are all that
I have to salvage what's left of me.
Can you even see me?

Can you hear me
calling out from within the 
void? Do you feel the vibration 
from the echoes of this prison?

Can you hear me? I know 
it's too much to ask of you to 
decipher my feelings when I 
am speaking in tongues.

Can you feel me scuffling 
with my own emotion, trying 
to keep the beast inside from
mauling me into nonexistence?

Can you feel me fighting
my flight instincts? Darling,
my endeavor feels like failure,
so can you please help me?
