Can you at least
hear the cries of
my heart.
Let the agonies and
anguish of my life
touch your heart.
It's calling out to
you all day long.
Can you at least
bear the burden of
this travesties and
aggression on
my soul.
How loud I tried to
call out to you,
it sounded so loud
but you couldn't
answer me.
I tried to sound
confident but my voice
came out small and
shaky then I hesitated.
Hear the cry of my soul,
you that pass me by,
my beloved,
my brother,
my sister.
In my silent tears I
reached out to you.
Stop for this moment
and help a soul out.
Listen to the last wish
of a hungry soul
with a heart so broken.
My soul calls out to you,
My heart calls out to you,
my voice calls out to you.
Don't just pass by,
do something,
anything, anyhow.
Stop for a minute,
stop for just a moment.
I know my cry touches you,
I know you heard me.
Remove your pride,
**** your ego,
let yourself to look,
even to have a glimpse
into my eyes to see
my soul is enough.
Only then will you know
my heart and understand my pain.
