Cries Lost in Tears

A desperate cry onto deaf ears
Saddens the blind man who sheds no tears,
And the mute who speaks words of solace,
But with no sound, drop dry in a dessert of voices.

Someone left alone with no one to hold,
So depressed, finding no peace in their home,
Travelling the darkest circles of the mind,
With only one answer too horrible to find.

They feel as though no one cares,
Yet the others are simply unaware,
And what’s worse, some want to help
But have not the courage to tell.

They fall from heaven every day,
And in silence they fall,
And in silence we look away,
And a hope once bright, begins to fade.

Can we not see their plea,
Or is our innocence too precious to bleed,
and our sight blurred by greed,
as to forget of those in need.

If you are having struggles like mine,
Then I implore you, give it time,
Because there is so much love for you to find,
And eventually, you’ll learn how to rhyme.
