the road leads me down

do they suspect

that i’m upset

that they are carrying me

to my doom

the car hurtles on

up the highway

an end that is not my way

but for me

i scream

in silence

i scream

for me

they talk

and i listen

they don’t suspect

how much i am missing

my home

to be alone

away from fears

that assail

since one cares

i scream

in silence

i scream

for me
