Hear, See, Speak.
Can you hear me? Can you care? Could you be here for me, When nobody else is there?
Can you hear me? Could you tune into my rants, my fears? Or is a heartbreaker the person you’ll be, And my desperate attempts to talk my mind will fall on deaf ears?
Can you see me? Could you study me on the surface and beneath my skin? Or will you crush my self-esteem, my personality? Will you be too blind to perceive me from within?
Can you speak to me? Could you share your own experiences, good or bad? Or are you the type to respond rudely? The type to purposely ignore me until I grow mad?
Please don’t abandon me like the others, Instead, rescue me from the deep dark, I beg for the compassion of another, How will you leave your mark?
Can You Hear Me?
I see the cemetery out my window. The window frosts up and the mist creeps between the graves. I feel faded, foggy. Damp. My hand cuts through objects, my mind shifts through images of last night.
Stop. Please stop. Can you hear me? Is it in my head?
My ears ring, the soulless sound. I feel the way I move in and out. My vision elongates and statics. Stretching and warping.
It creeps up my body runs It’s fingers along my skin. I miss the way things used to feel real in my hands. I feel nothing. Numbness I’m fond of.
I see the cemetery out my window. I’ll join them soon.
Can You Hear Me?
I open my mouth to scream, But only a small noise escapes my lips. It’s like my lungs are being Filled with water And all I can do is gasp for air. I try to cry out for help But nobody comes… Can you hear me? Can you hear the absolute terror in my voice? I need help, I’m drowning in this house And need out… Some one please help me Before my voice goes silent, Before I loose this fight.
Can You Hear Me?
Can you hear me?
We hear that phrase so many times in our lives It’s a phrase that we both love and despise
It’s amazing really What that phrase can do It can make others be silent Force them to listen to you It gives you a power unlike any other To make others listen and see them cower
But on the flip side We cower in fear You silence our voices As the end draws near How will I survive I won’t always be able to hide If only you could see the damage you cause The lifes that are taken All for your own benefit
I’m screaming at the top of my lungs
“Hear me! Hear my side!”
All I got in return Was you simply protecting your pride
My family told me to keep my head down Stay in my own lane Don’t make a sound
But when I saw others in danger I couldn’t stand to the side I was raised with good values It was never about my pride
As I run forward while others run away I knew that this would be my final day I stand up tall as I face you I’m not afraid of heights I’m not afraid of this fall
So now here I am Standing for everyone who fell As I look at you face to face I can finally say my peace.
“Can you hear me now? I’m fighting for them not you I won’t just lay down and die You took everything from me I won’t let you do this to others
Can you hear me?
This is your final call”
can you hear me?
listen close I am here I don’t make a sound but I am here can you hear?
look closely can you see? I go unnoticed slip through the cracks still I am here do you hear? do you see?
listen closer carefully now I’m silent but I am here I always have been
look closer that’s it I’m invisible but I am here and I’m not going anywhere I am here I’ve been here
can you hear me now? can you see me now? do you know me now? do you feel me? do you understand me?
you may not notice me but I am here I have always been here
can you hear me?
hello? can you hear me? i’m right here… can’t you see me?
no… not you too… am i still invisible? trapped so deep within myself, that no one will ever see me.
the forest is dark here. and alone i wander. my feet get stuck in the cold marsh of memories as i drag my way through.
there’s a fog, it rolls around obscuring every truth in this path. warping beautiful things, and making them seem twisted.
i know the view through it isn’t true, but knowledge can’t change the fear.
the monsters that lurk here are viscous. they’ll tear apart every weakness they find. consume until i’m bare bones and hollow soul. and then they’ll wait in the shadows until i grow back a little meat.
i’m alone here. in this desolate dreary forest. you’ll never find me. i’m lost forever.
