Nobody

I speak my soul still nobody hears me Its like I recite for no reason my words have no cause I sit here and scream out my soul Not looking for applause Just wanting to be recognized I constantly scream but it all goes unheard Like my voice has no sound And theirs no meaning to my words Not at all, no one, nobody hears me But I know they can see me…. See within vision Or maybe they hear me loud and clearly It’s just that they do not listen Either I’m overreacting or I’m overlooked Underachieved or underestimated Which one is the result of my cries having silent replies? Whatever it is I just hate it But the lack of acknowledgement Has yet to halt me from ceasing my fate Don’t do it for the name or not in vein Just do it for people to relate Maybe it may be that I’m not taken seriously But I am so serious I breathe poetry through my ribs And for those who at all do not know I’ll tell you what it is It’s just expressions of my feelings Something I was just born to do But what am I? I am just NOBODY to you
