When no one is Listening

Lucy Alcazar 1979 (California)



I roam the world with eyes wide open
Feelings are gone
Emotions are broken
Pain is so deep it hurts and it stings
So many cries left unheard
Cause no one is listening
So many problems piled on my shoulders
In this darkness I grow deep
As my heart grows colder
From the top of my lungs
comes the shouts and the screams
But their left unheard
Cause no one is listening
So to sleep I will cry
I will weep when I die
But it doesn't matter
Cause I bet still no one is listening
