can anybody hear me

am i silently screaming into the void

sound proof dampeners placed on my vocal chords

it is futile

bashing my fists against the walls, bloody knuckles and broken bones

frustrated over a lack of understanding

running in place, not making progress

going nowhere at full speed

i see the red dot on my chest, know one lies on the center of my forehead

snipers in position to make sure my words are never known

assassins blades coated in poison seek my heart

little do they know i gave that up years ago

i am a mad scientist version of a human

the chains across my chest hold back a beast

and i am trying to give away the key

but nonverbal communication is not effective and improperly conveyed out of line of sight

i can feel the creature pace restlessly, testing the bonds of it’s imprisonment

it will be free

but at what cost
