Listen
Angry parents – at us or themselves
Angry lovers – heartbreaking rows
Angry worlds – they don’t share secrets
form tears on our pillows
We drink them away
till no one sees them glisten.
But their stains are not erased
and God will always listen.
Doors will be closed
and windows will be stuck
Music and self-pity will not erase
your loss of luck.
No reason defines you
No written history will change
Ask what’s wrong
but you’re the mountain range
What can extinguish your fire
the one of 100 states?
You’ve lit the match
you can’t choose new fates
What will repair the broken home
which bends at useless efforts?
You did not try to hurt your life
but it still hurts
We drink our tears away
till no one sees them glisten.
But there are still stains
and God will always listen.
