Caroline S. P. Keller - Lend Me Your Ears

Описание

I cry myself to sleep As I can hardly breathe Telling myself I’m alone For the millionth time It shouldn’t be right The thoughts that I have But it seems better Then telling myself a regrettable lie I’m learning slowly How to keep my mouth shut With all the important things Always left unsaid Well maybe not so important When it’s coming from me Just a girl, just another child What more can there be to me? What’s so important? That I’ve got to say That would want to make people listen Instead of shrugging me away Is it attention I’m seeking? No, that can’t be right Maybe just a pair of ears To hear me out for tonight A shoulder to cry on A strong hand to hold A sweet and gentle whisper Telling me that I’m wrong Telling me I’m not alone And that my feelings do matter No matter how useless they seem No matter how idiotic they sound For I’m as important As anybody else Well…aren’t I? Can I at least believe in that much? © (10/29/11) Caroline S. P. Keller poemhunter.com/poem/lend-me-your-ears-2/
