====================




They drown me all


The sounds


And noises


They come close to my ears


In my honed corner I can smell their perspiration


There's nothing here


Nothing, but this buzzing noise inside my head


And everyone's constant screaming


But



No one




Is




Screaming






Only






I am.







Nothing









Is there














Just
The emptiness
And the vacant stares
From the vacant holes in the walls
I see the outside world
Shrouded in darkness
But
When in Rome
Do as the Romans say

Do as the Romans say

Do




As





The




Romans

I definitely dig the spacing in this poem; definitely captures the eeriness and intensity. I wish more people experimented with this type of spacing.
