Waiting to be heard


Waiting to be heard

I’m waiting to be heard in a world that people don’t like to see you but to look at you on the outside of your soul.

They want to see the hurt in your heart but not the smile on your face

This is me a woman who’s 19 and married and has everything going for her self but family that sees your hurt your pain

I am a person that hides wats in side of me and trys to see the better my life should not be unheard but people don’t get what I go through.

I cut my self since I was 9 ever since my parents split up and when my brother raped me when my mom was too busy up stairs .

I am a woman who keeps a smile on her face to hide the fear the pain the hurt the shame

My life don’t suck but its not the way it should be my scares my pain should not be a game

It’s the pain I feel the hurt that needs to be healed

Imma be hear in Cali with the people that listened and with the people that just see my pain and my smile but when I smile you can see my pain the hurt the strain

I love my but nobody wont listen loud enough

Im just waiting to be heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
