Help

Hear the cries for help they seem so close
So close like there at the tip of your nose

So close as if you can't breath
You try and try but it's hopeless

You try calling out to the cries
All you hear is the wind, and in 
The wind you faintly hear wines

You notice the louder they get
The farther away they really are

You start to wonder where they’re coming from
And why so distant
You want to go look but still hesitant

You walk down the block
 Look up to realize that there's a gate with a lock

Sitting there thinking where to go and what to do
Suddenly you realize
That the voices you hear are souls calling for you

You look down at your self  
You’re one of them too.
