Lost Voices

Lately I've felt like nobody has been listening to what I've been saying, and I know others feel this way as well. So to the others like me out there, this is for you.

 I cry for help

but the plea is gone

I put it back on my shelf

where it belongs

I put on a smile

and it lasts for a while

but when I try to speak

their ears are far too weak

No one can hear or help with my choices

I'm part of the crowd

of the forever lost voices

I've got a funny story

one with many jokes

but when I try to tell my tale

in my throat it chokes

maybe I have some information

which I found with much dedication

I want to share and seem alive

but I guess her voice is louder than mine

No one can hear or help with my choices

I'm part of the crowd

of the forever lost voices

 But forever is such a word

that I do no like to say

nothing lasts forever

after night must come day

the crowd shall rise

together we shall stand

brighter than the skies

we remain hand in hand

our pleas will be heard

our stories shall be told

like the songs of birds

our voices will be bold

people will hear and help with our choices

they'll finally hear

the no longer lost voices

This isn't my best work, but it's just how I feel.
