Am I Being Heard Yet

Here I sit alone at home, at school, nobody to talk to, nobody to listen to my words, Here I sit, waiting for my only friends, the birds, the butterflies, it could be worse, Here I sit, waiting to be seen, am I invisible to you? Am I being heard yet? I sit here alone, amongst the healthy, wealthy, beautiful, people, I feel so weird, I stand here amongst the crowd at school, all who have a career in mind, I stand alone, I don't have any aspirations, they don't care, my issues I will spare, Am I being heard yet? My body shows the scars of depression, anger, sadness, Nobody hears my cries, they silenced my words too many times, no longer here to burden your life. I sit here, alone, waiting for a friend, why won't anyone answer my calls? Am I being silent enough? I feel deserted, alone, stupid, anxious, my tears are all gone, Am I being silent enough? I am alone in the graveyard, I see my stone, all these people busy talking amongst themselves, I guess I have been silenced at last, Why didn't you answer my cries? Out of the darkness, I don't walk alone, Sarah Hedstrom, my sister, my friend, we both are holding our candles to shine a light, Sucicide is real, we will face this scary epidemic together, For We will never be silenced, we will walk all night to face the morning together....
