To be...

Sun, 09/07/2014 - 17:24 -- Kaylee
All she wants is to be seen
But she hides behind her books 
And announces herself through her musical melodies
But no one ever looks
And no one ever hears
Who cares?
She wonders why she hides 
Wonders why she can't figure out her own mind. 
 
All he wants is to be loved
But he hides behind his confident facade
He wants to show his true self
But doesn't think this is the time or place
Maybe he'll just wait another day
So he keeps his feeling on a shelf
And waits for someone to find his true self. 
 
All they want is to be heard 
Their silent screams and wordless echoes
They say little but when they speak so much is said
All these people listening but not hearing
Looking but not seeing 
Faking and not loving 
Maybe one day they will be....
