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
