Hear me

a poem for those who feel unheard

Can anybody out there hear me?

Here I sit pouring out my soul, 

Crying out loud

feeling hurt and used

I tell everyone that I am 

OK

that I'm alright

I promise them all 

I will make through the night.

even though If I were to be truly honest,

I cannot promise that.

I am terrified to sleep

I am scared to rest

I push and I push so I don't have to think

I keep my mind racing

I keep my heart burning with a passion 

for better things.

But can anybody hear me?

Can they not see through this

Fisade? 

can they not tell that while

I smile, 

I hold back tears?

can someone please just ask me once,

just once,

 how am I REALLY doing?

I want so much to ask for your help

but I can't

Physically something inside me

hides. 

it makes me think

 that I am alright

until you leave

and then 

again 

it surfaces

and I am left 

in tears

scared

and

hopeless

can anybody hear me?

This mask

that I wear

it worn and chipped

I cannot wear it 

much longer

someone please cut the string

that holds to my face

and see the real me

please

please just someone

take my hand

and see that I need you

someone 

please

Can anybody hear me?

It's like a shell, if closed - ignored, when opened... wonders.

I definitely used to feel this way Savannah... felt so small in such a big world. It doesn't help that I push most friends away but sometimes we get into that funk where we wonder if there is anyone to hear us. I liked it... enjoyed it very much :)
