No one hears me cry
As I ask the heavens why
My voice echoes off walls
That may never ever fall

No one hears the screams
Coming from my dreams
They silently reach out
As my mind shouts

No one hears my plea
Someone reach out to me
I’ve never felt so alone
My heart heavy as stone

No one is around
To pick me off the ground
I shiver and shake
My body continues to quake

No one can see
What’s become of me
How my heart aches
How much more I can take

No one really knows
Because it doesn’t show
I keep it all inside
My secrets I hide

No one holds my hand
Or writes my name in the sand
There is only me
The way it’ll always be

No one can tell
I’ve lived through hell
My life was a mess
I now confess

No one to hear
My deepest fear
Coming to life
Amidst this strife

I need someone now
Somewhere somehow
To listen to my plight
In the middle of this night


All writing comes
by the grace of God.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

someone hears. . . someone listens. . .

even when you don't think that they do. . . they're there. . .

well done. . . but sad. . .

As long as you write here, someone is listening. As long as you have friends dear to you and people who care, someone is listening. As long as God is watching your heart, someone always listens.   This is very sad writing, but very effective in its message. Be well.

I am many.

it's amazing how we can feel all alone in a crowd...yet everyone i know has experienced that at some point in their life...ironic isn't it?

but you know we are all here to listen...

wow, this was an awesome poem, I could feel every word you said, it's how I have often felt, but only by the Grace of God, that's the way you'll carry on.

Indeed we all listen.
Sometimes even when you have someone they don't listen, they don't write your name in the sand, they only want what they can take.
Similar skin - similar suffering.
It's sad but you have to believe and have faith that one day.. things will change....
