Poetry from Linda Allen

Does Anybody Hear Me

Sometimes I sit here all alone
Thinking of a time when I will be heard
Can you help me?
Does anybody hear me?

Sometimes I just wish
Wish to be heard
Wish to be heard as a person in this world
Most days I sit here alone and unheard
I know I’m not six feet under yet
I am here
All I need is to be heard

Does anybody hear me?!
‘Cause I’m singing loudly here
Does anybody hear me?!
‘Cause I’m crying loudly here

Stop me from turning invisible
‘Cause I’m not heard, not here, not seen, and all alone
Please hear me!!!!
Please see me!!!!
I want to exist in this world
So please please
Stop me from becoming invisible in this (world)

Does anybody see me?!
‘Cause I’m standing over here
Singing at the top of my lungs
(I want to be heard, I want to be seen. Please don’t leave me alone)

Does anybody hear me?!
‘Cause I’m singing loudly here
Does anybody hear me?!
Does anybody see me?!
‘Cause I’m over here
And I am over this (hell)
Do you hear me yet?!

Do you see me yet?!
I am going BIG! Or I’m going HOME!!
Singing at the top of my lungs
Standing on the top of this table
(Wishing to be heard. Needing to exist in this world)
DOES ANYBODY HEAR ME!!!!

 

Have You Ever Been

Have you ever been                                        Don’t forget you’re not alone

Made fun of                                                         Don’t let them win

Abused                                                                 Don’t let go of yourself

Raped

Used                                                                       Well

                                                                                 Have you ever been

Well you know you’re not                             Made fun of

alone                                                                      Tortured

We’re all here for you                                     Abused

Give us a call                                                      Raped

                                                                                 Used

Have you ever been

Made fun of                                                         Victims unite

Abused                                                                 To be victims no more

Raped                                                                    To show them we can stand

Used                                                                       To show them we are survivors

                                                                                 STAND UP

When you need help                                              and

ask                                                                          FIGHT

We know your pain                                         AGAINST

You have a friend                                            THOSE WHO SEEK TO HARM

Have you ever been                                        Have you ever been

Made fun of                                                         Made fun of

Tortured                                                              Tortured

Abused                                                                 Abused

Raped                                                                   Raped

Used                                                                     Used

                                                                                ?

Someday

I’m gonna live like these years never happened
I’m gonna let you go
I’m gonna forget all about you
I’m gonna move on
I’m gonna get past this
I’m gonna be free to be me
I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be content with my life
I’m gonna get what I want and need out of life
I’m gonna learn to live
Live for me
I’m gonna be me
I’m gonna be rid of you once and for all
I’m gonna discover the real me
I’m gonna be and find what I have to be and find
I’m gonna learn to love again
I’m gonna be happy
I’m gonna cry less
I’m gonna smile more
It’s all gonna happen for me
Someday

 

The Hourglass

The hourglass is glued to the table
The sands of time running out
Not in our favor

The hourglass is glued to the table
The sands of time running out
Can’t break it, can’t stop it

The hourglass is glued to the table
The sands of time running out
The time is flying by, leaving me behind

The hourglass is glued to the table
The sands of time running out
Running out
Wasting to much time

The hourglass is glued to the table
The sands of time running out
Not in our favor

Oh oh
The hourglass is glued to the table
Oh oh
Glued to the table
The sands of time running out
Oh oh
The hourglass is glued to the table
The sands of time running out
Stealing all our yesterdays
Showings us all our tomorrows
Oh oh
The hourglass is glued to the table
The sands of time running out
No time to waste, no time to look back

The hourglass is glued to the table
The sands of time running out

Turns out it is in our favor

  1. We know it is human nature to devalue the
    things we receive for free. So if still don’t know
    what to do yet, consider a carpentry career. It will be advantageous to highlight everything related to carpentry in and
    outside of school.

  2. It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly
    donate to this excellent blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your
    RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to fresh updates and will talk about this blog with my Facebook group.
    Talk soon!
