James Wilson Poet I do not know?

Voices

Can't you hear my voice?
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
but no one is listening 
it's like trying to talk
in a room full of people when
everyone is talking
no matter what I do 
no one seems to be listening
and when I do get a 
chance to speak 
no one is paying attention
should I use a mega phone
or announce it over the P.A system
huh? you tell me 
what should I do?
no one gives me credit I'm 
constantly being lied on
it seems like the people closet 
to me are the farthest from me
I'm serious everyday
it's fussing
nagging
for what?
nothing
this has gotten out of hand
and it needs to stop 
before someone gets hurt
but odds are that it won't stop
well at least for the moment 
it won't stop
have to figure out a way
to get my voice heard
eventhough I am writing this 
poem no one will listen
to the meaning of the poem
they will say
"nice poem"
"that's nice"
but no one will understand
my reason for writing this
so why bother saying the reason
it waste of my time
so why bother huh?
maybe I should hold a press
conference and say this poem
to the world then maybe
just maybe my voice will 
finally be heard then the world will 
know what I have to say
