Listen...Hear My Cries

Oh dear wind that whispers through the trees
Hear my cries
Oh dear flowers that dance in the breeze
Hear my shrieks
Oh dear rain that pours from the sky
Hear my wails

See the tears that stream from my eyes
They talk of pain
The agony of having no one
The despair of loneliness
I see many people around me
Yet my world feels empty
I am not alone but I am lonely
My heart reaches out to those who surround me
But no one answers my calls

I walk this earth but leave no foot prints
I am invisible
I tread the ground but leave no marks
My presence is unnoticed
I cry but my pleas are unheard
I am silent
My soul screams
My heart hollers
But no one responds to my shrills

Is it that difficult to listen?
To hear my words?
Wounds may heal but scars are left behind
An everlasting reminder of the distress
Where are the ears to receive my screeches?
My heart is overfilling with emotions
They need to spill
But where is the cup to fill?
I just need someone to listen
To listen
Listen...
