Brea Pond Poet Free verse

Noise Beyond the Door

There is a baby crying 
Just wanting to be fed 
The distress is growing and intensifying 

 There is a daughter crying 
Just wanting to feel loved 
Her desire for acknowledgment is underlying 

 There is a mother crying 
Just wanting to be happy 
The life she has is so unsatisfying 

 There is a lover crying 
Just wanting to be chosen 
The thought of starting over is horrifying 

 There is a sister crying 
Just wanting to feel whole 
The size of her emptiness keeps multiplying 

 There is a family crying 
Just wanting to be led 
The thought of doing this alone is oh so terrifying
