"if you're not 1st you're last"


From behind the walls
All I ever hear
Are screams that scream
And fill me with fear

Day and night
Night and day
Screaming screams
Take my soul away

There’s hate in those screams
And doubt in those words
These scream-filled screams
I wish I’d heard

It’s to late
Once screams start they never stop
And I can’t even run
Because this is all I got

Ya I think you're right and now I also realized I left out a word in the line after that- "I wish I've never hear" is wat it should have said

&quot;Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, but I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.&quot;

So I was feeling the power of this poem both through the image and the the line break up but "scream filled screams" just seems a little forced to me. I mean there are so many interesting ways to describe the ways that a scream feels and/or what is it's like (personification?). But still, good job with this!!!!
