I watch as they laugh
Like everything is one big joke
I don't get their punchline
It seems to be masked in a cloak
I wish to be free
Away from their cackling noise
I strain to be heard
When did I have such a tiny voice
I want to scream
If only I were heard
Their indecisive clamoring
Seems so ruthlessly absurd
One single earth shattering call
A shrill true siren's shout
Why do they not listen
What is this cacophony all about
Hear me, see me
It's all I really want
Face me, need me
I'm like a spirit with nowhere to haunt
I suppose I will wait
Just like I always do
Wait and waste my time
Will you ever be through
See me, hear me
I'm not sure if you can
Am I not needed
When you look at me, do you see who I am
When I fake this smile
Do you know what I hide
I ask can you hear me
As I scream deep inside
There is no lesson
Just a simple need
Please, won't you listen
Won't you stop, won't you cease
I have shrieked my final shriek
And bellowed my last cry
I lay here still and silent
Why did I even try
