I know not where it is, I should turn

As thoughts inside, begin to churn

An acid, meant to truly burn

A helpless moment, of which I yearn

*

To cast away, the thoughtless words

From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd

To know that I’m not really heard

My patience, buried, now interred

*

Into hopelessness, I need to fight

To end this horrid, dreadful plight

That I endure, both day and night

For where there seems, no end in sight

Oh, hi there, I wasn’t expecting you

Please excuse me, if you don’t mind

I made my over here, for what, no clue

But, it’s something I hope I can find

Lately, I’m lost, don’t know what to do

I wonder if you’d help me, in kind

Find the thing, blocked from my view

Especially, if I try looking behind

I think I’ve gotten myself into a stew

If I don’t find it soon, I’ll be in a bind

What’s that you say, just buy it new?

Great idea, ah, at last, I can unwind…

 

…Now, what was it I was looking for?

Wasted
The hours in a day
Doing nothing
Wallowing
In empty air
And blank spaces
The mind
Reeling
In no specific direction
Slamming
Into a brick wall
But no damage
Except to the soul
Damaged
Torn apart
Ripped
From its very essence
Mangled, as if
It had been ravaged
By a predator
But that predator
Only lives within me
The walls
I have built myself
Keep me
Safely guarded, away
From the vicious
And yet
I want to explode
To let it out
Still
No one will hear
No one will care
No one
Even notices
How lost
Inside myself
I am
No one

If we don’t take care, of our planet Earth

We’ll be lost in this place, once paradise

We must remember, everything’s worth

With each decision, we must pay a price

How do I make you hear
Better still, understand
When my words fall
On deaf ears, am I
But a hum, or drone
You have so easily
Tuned out, turned off
Or is it you who simply
Does not care to listen
Muting the sounds
Too full of yourself
To admit wrong
Ignoring the signs
You need help
Or to notice
I am right
Here
