I was taught
Through the pages
Of countless voices
To love myself
To love my life
That I can change
My perspective
With an open-mind
That I have an invincible
Positive
I want to find the words
The words to explain
explain how I feel
as a kid today
You try to listen
Listen
Our world calls out for help
Listen
Families living in the streets
Listen
Animals going extinct
Listen
Children crying themselves to sleep
Listen
I have advice for whoever is listening. It’s not very good but I’ill try my best. I hate it when a book ends and I hate it when I accidently forget to replace the shampoo bottle before I get into the shower.
Sometimes we hear things people say,
Jumping to conclusions without any way
For either of us to clarify or explain,
We just assume what we heard was meant to cause pain.
I wish you could let me go,
I wish you could let me be,
I wish I could be anywhere but here,
And I know you think you're listening
But I don't think you even hear me.
They say there are 44.5 million of us.
Despite all the good, all I see on the news,
is the rough.
They say death is on the rise but,
so is the list of overactive activists,
determined to get this,
Everybody wants to be heard, but nobody wants to listen
I'm no poet myself, I'm just a student with a vision
to one day be known as an inspiration to many
not be tossed down the ground like an old, copper penny
And he said that I did most things like I drove, like wildfire.
And I shivered despite the searing heat.
Floating in the lake of nothingness
Words flowing in and out
They bear no meaning
Or, do they?
Thrashing my arms and legs about
Stuck in the thralls of life
I am searching for an answer
Traveling steps, hand in hand
Invincibly unbroken, surrepitiously hidden;
We.
Ripped away this current day,
I was born in the land of the free
where the land lord put a brother let you land in the streets
What's in a word? A sentence?
What's it worth to speak your mind when nobody can hear you.
To be heard.
I want to scream, shout!
But they are all deaf in their ignorance.
To be heard.
