When No One Hears You, You Can't Make A Sound

Hello?

An echo is my only response

I have yet to find an answer to such a simple call

A dream I've survied alone in

I wish I was strong enough

To carry this burden upon my shoulders

To continue this lonely trek

Hello?

Not even a response this time

This is a continuation of a lack of self control

I am my only downfall

My only side-effect

My only disability

HELLO?

I stand still in my anger

Pitted self versus self

Yet,

I pray for the softest reply

A shout from the distance

A hand to reach out in the dark

Grasp mine

And lead me to salvation

hello...

It's that moment that I discover

What I am

What I've been

Utterly

(and truly)

Alone
