Noise Beyond the Door

There is a baby crying Just wanting to be fed The distress is growing and intensifying There is a daughter crying Just wanting to feel loved Her desire for acknowledgment is underlying There is a mother crying Just wanting to be happy The life she has is so unsatisfying There is a lover crying Just wanting to be chosen The thought of starting over is horrifying There is a sister crying Just wanting to feel whole The size of her emptiness keeps multiplying There is a family crying Just wanting to be led The thought of doing this alone is oh so terrifying
