What Do You Do When No One Will Listen

What Do You Do When No One Will Listen

A Poem by layla
"

Poem about being locked up in jail.

"

 

What do you do, when you just want yell

But no one will listen, cause you sit in a cell

What do you do, when you just want fresh air

But no one will listen, cause the orange you wear

 

What do you do, for ice in your cup

But no one will listen, you pray and look up

What do you do, when you’re cold at night

But no one will listen, when they turn out the light

 

What do you do, when the girl takes your food

But no one will listen, a rat you’ll be viewed

What do you do, you want a good book

But no one will listen, no book for a crook

 

What do you do, you can’t sing a song

But no one will listen, the lyrics are wrong

What do you do, when no one will come

But no one will listen, your known as the scum

 

No one will listen, I yell all to hell

No one will listen, there’s air in my cell

No one will listen, no ice for a reason

No one will listen, one blanket all season

 

No one will listen, they all take your food

No one will listen, no book for your mood

No one will listen, your voice is a sting

No one will listen, no family tell spring

"You're known as a scum"

That's all I have to say negatively. It's very nice, and I like it. The poem flows very nicely. Thumbs up!!

Pretty good this, Very intense...I love the way you rant at the end, bringing it all together...but should it not be No family TILL spring instead of 'tell?' Just wondering
