Poetic Girls

I just want to be heard

But you wont listen

I just want to be seen

But you wont see

I just want to know

But you wont let me

I just asked why

But you did not answer

I just died

But you did not care

What life may hold,
What answers I seek,
When the outlook is cold,
When the outlook is bleak,
I turn to you,
I turn to myself,
And I know that there’s hope,
I know that there’s someone there
to catch me when I fall,
whether I’m weak and I crawl,
or if I’m strong again and can walk tall.

Though I’m not American, I mourn for the human lives lost that day.
All of you are in my prayers.

-Tina Silva

Tell me what I want to hear,
Tell me that is not what I fear,
Tell me it’s just you and me,
Tell me I don’t see what I see.

Tell me life is easy,
Tell me I’m not crazy,
Tell me life is just a simple thing,
Tell me…
