The Unknown

I'm waiting 
Watching 
I want to be heard 
But am I good enough 
I'm going back and forth
Over and under 
For one remark 
Why
When will the MORE come
Look at me 
For heaven sake listen 
I'm speaking 
Shouting out
Someone, anyone notice me
Just how far do have to go
And for how long
I can't stand the feeling 
This unknown
But to quit 
That is unacceptable
