Knock, knock, knocking.

I can hear this knocking in my mind.
Trying to get me to look around.
No one's home.
No one's listening.

I can hear this knocking in my mind.
My eyes are staying shut.
The world is closed.
I'm staying inside.

I can hear this knocking in my mind.
My fists clenched at my side.
I will not hold your hand.
I simply will not.

I can hear this knocking in my mind.
My mouth is staying shut.
You won't hear my screams.
Even if it were aloud.
