#was very shitty hot and human the pool did not open up because of this disease that was going around and just plain old the end and no sleep and pain 24 hours of pain

"Can you hear me," it whispers,
But I can't make out the words.
I am 7 years old,
Just a little girl.

The whispers grow louder,
They don't know what's causing the pain.
They can't hear the whispers,
Our tears are in vain.

As the years pass,
The volume of the words increases.
I can hear it now,
But they can't connect the pieces.

The whispers grow in number,
The voices are agitated.
As they grow inside me,
I grow more and more frustrated.

Twenty-seven years it took,
To connect all the issues.
It was never all in my head,
It was my connective tissues.

But now what once was a whisper,
Is a storm raging within.
Peace is the only way forward,
So healing may begin.

I will listen to new whispers,
Before they turn to cries.
I will listen to the whispers,
And slowly I will rise.
I will listen to the whispers,
Before they turn to shouts.
