Screams

Another night comes

I await for the stillness to be broken

The arrival of the scream is sure not to be too far

I hear it

The next day came

I watch the news to see who it was this time

And I fear when my time will come

I get a note that day that tells me that my time has come

At first I dismiss it, but then I start to wonder

And fear begins to rise

I hear another scream at noon and this time it is closer than the other night

The young of the night comes

I wait with my shotgun

I hear the front door creak open

My heart skips a beat

I hear footsteps coming up the stairs

The door to my room opens slowly

I ready the gun

But it was not enough

For that night it was my scream that people heard
