Can You Hear Me

I'm prisoner in my own home
Have no place to go
Feel as if the world turned on it's back
As if the water went away 
As if I starved day after day
Places that they speak upon
Are the ones I wish will come
I can no longer be heard 
Stuck here.. Locked in a cage of fear
It's dark in here, but light flows out of me
As to you I speak 
I'm hungary.. Not fed a crumb
What's wrong with them. 
Can they not see me?
I write to you cause I'm not heard
What so ever
I write because you listen
As I whisper into your ear 
Don't be scared 
I'm not here to scare you
Just need your help
I'm prisoner in my home
Underground is where I've been
Can you hear me? 
Would you be my friend?
