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!!!!

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

Congratulations, Linda. Powerful poems! And brave.
Thank you very much Janine Canan.
That is a great tip particularly to those new to the
blogosphere. Short but very precise information… Many thanks for sharing this one.
A must read article!
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.
