SCREAMS IN THE WALL
I’ve seen and witnessed too much
these days, I only opt for brunch
I am only human, want to live normal
my existence questions me abnormal
I hear screams in the wall
lost souls trapped between brawl
hope lost, they… traumatized
unknown location they can’t acclimatize
in rotation, they meander
a gravity force pulling my soul to surrender
depart from me, I have no business with the dead
why me? Why thread
their cries reeks of shriek
drains my spirit, makes me weak
I am not a god, just a pitiful being
I hate spotlights, leave me behind the scene
I never signed up for this cause
I have my own problems and clause
let me be, let me breathe
I am a beautiful garden, don’t infest with weed
I’ve seen and witnessed too much
these days, I only opt for brunch
I am only human, want to live normal
my existence questions me abnormal

This poem beautifully captures the weight of witnessing too much pain while still longing for a normal life. The imagery of “screams in the wall” is haunting and powerful, and I especially like how the speaker rejects being seen as a savior and embraces their humanity. It feels like a raw reflection on trauma, empathy, and the exhaustion that comes from carrying burdens that were never yours to bear.
