If Only Someone Would Listen
If only someone would listen.
You’d all see my face glisten.
Instead I feel very distant.
Is what I say all foolishness?
Whatever it is I need to add some freshness I guess.
Don’t know what I should say to express.
The fact of being heard just once would be so blessed.
Is it the way I am dressed?
All of this frustration leaves me so stressed.
It seems nothing I say matters.
Maybe I am missing some important factors.
What If I yelled fire?
Or screamed from the inside out in desire.
Until I finally fall in perspire.
Or give from exhaustion and tire.
And still no one would ever listen.
If only someone would listen.
