To Be Heard...


When you speak

When you scream and shout and curse the heavens

There is no can't, they won't

You beg, you plead

The world is moving forward

Closure: the unforgettable goal

Your life is centered around this damn idea

That no one even cares about

So continue the release

Keep your crying and your whining

Nothing goes unseen or unheard

It just goes ignored
