Listen

Everybody has a voice but not everyone is heard

A new and almost brilliant idea comes to mind.
I almost want to scream it but I know that even if I do, no one will hear it.
I have a voice but can't find anyone to listen to it.
The moment I do find that special someone, someone else takes them away.
I have a voice that wants to go on forever but no one wants to listen to the smallest part of it.
In my mind I yell Listen! Listen! Listen to me!
But still no one pays any attention.
The moment I open my mouth to speak is the moment that I get shut down.
I'm worth something!
I am!
If you'd just listen to me!
Please listen....

A really heart wrenching plea. I could feel the voice of this very strongly. As a free verse poem you've captured raw emotion very well. Enjoyed the read. Wish you the Best.
