Or is it?

I hear a voice,
Distant, yet familiar,
But is it a scream,
or a cry of pain?
Or am I asleep
and part of a dream?
It seems too real,
And sounds too close,
I think it's in pain,
Or am I wrong?
Or is it that
I'm not sane?
I hear it again,
And sit up in panic,
I find myself crying,
Are these tears?
Or is it that
to myself I'm lying?
I know the voice now,
It's an echo of my cry,
I sit alone and shocked,
Is this death?
Or is it a place
in which I'm locked?
I shut my eyes tight,
And cry myself to sleep,
I'm awoken by a voice again,
Distant, yet familiar,
But is it a scream,
or a cry of pain?
