Can'T Anyone Hear Me

Can't anyone hear me?
I'm crying so loud.
Why can't I be rescued
From under this cloud?
I reach out my hand,
But noone takes hold.
I'm full of such darkness
That my insides are cold.
Nobody ever listens,
So I continue to yell.
Now I really believe
That I'm living in hell.
Just once more I wish
That somebody could see.
There are millions of voices
Screaming inside of me.
The voices aren't friendly.
They bring much bad news.
Why doesn't anyone notice?
I send out many clues.
Just once more I wish
That someone could hear.
However, nobody does,
So I continue in fear.
Without anyone listening,
My life will just end.
This is the message
That I hope to send.
