Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

I am screaming

My lungs are filled with air 

Turn around, I'm right here

Can you see me?

Do you care?

 

Can you hear me?

I am yelling

Help me find my voice

Please, this is it

I cant take it anymore

 

Can you hear me??

I am whispering

My lungs are almost closed

My mouth is stitched shut 

I hope someone knows

 

Can you hear me???

I am gone

I thought I was loud

But now are you listening?

I am buried in the ground

 

Can you hear me????

I am watching 

There is silence all around

I see you all crying 

I'm so far from you now

 

Can you hear me?????

It's all over, it's too late

No longer in your arms

This is all your fault

You never listened to the alarms

 

(NOTE: Not everyone has the chance to be heard. Suicide is an issue people face every day. Save a life by opening your eyes, ears, minds, and hearts. A shout can be as quiet as a whisper or as loud as a storm, it all depends on who's listening. If you don't have someone who will listen, find someone. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255)
