Can You Hear Me!!!

He Sounds The Drums,

Strumming To The Beat Of His Angst…

Amongst The Anxiety

His Reality Raps An Unfamiliar Tune.

He Speaks With All Caps,

But The Wind Rustled The Sand…

If You Try Screaming With A

Muzzle,

Nothing Will Echo,

Even If You Were A Soprano.

He I Stand

Stranded On An Island,

In The Middle Of Society,

Bruised By Abrasive Words…

I Try Looking Ahead,

And Just When I Think , I Found Love,

Little Me Appears And He Reminds Me,

Of The Heartbreaks Legátee…

He Reminds Me Of The Leeway, I Swore To Seek…

I Remember When I Lived,

Impecunious,

With A Sense Of Sensibility…

Opprobrious To The Enemy,

Of My Past And Future,

Fallibly I Dare To Speak…

I Am Dubious Of My Reality

Society Is Like A Foray To My Pride,

But High-Strung I Stand,

Chanting “CAN YOU HEAR ME”!!!

    Love this! I wrote a short story last week and in it, my MC asks, "Can you hear me?" Weird. But I believe that's all we all want. To discover ourselves and then have others discover us ...
