Help (Unheard Cries)
Why this for which I suffer?
No Cause that thy eye can see
No one else is tormented by this bother
Why then do I feel it upon me?
My heart yearns to break away
My soul aches and cries aloud
My mind and thoughts all start to fray
But no escape is to be found
"Help me" are my last spoken words
But upon deaf ears I fear they fall
For how could my thoughts be heard
And who would listen if I call?
About this poem
Many moons ago, while struggling with a difficult childhood, at 15 I tried to put into words a darkness within me.
