Sometimes

Sometimes, when no one's around, I punch the wall,
I let my hand sting,
I let it itch, but do not scratch.
Sometimes, when no one's around, I scream,
I listen to the echo,
I let it ring, no longer caring who hears.
Sometimes, when no one's around, I cry,
I let the water flow, no longer caring who sees.
And sometimes,
When no one's around, I pray,
I talk, no longer caring if someone's
Even listening, I just talk.
And sometimes, someone answers.
