No One

 

The dark began to smother

Everything all around,

As a distressed mother

Cradles a child with no sound.

Terrified, I tried to run

But found no place to go.

Knowing my journey had just begun

My soul sank deep below.

My heart wishing to cry

For the help that it can’t find;

Vowing never to try

For people who are blind.

If they don’t know me,

How can they reach me?

If they don’t try to see,

How can they know me?

Can’t they see how hard it is

To live on so many lies?

Am I so easy to miss?

No one is so wise.

Slowly I am being pulled in.

Will I ever get out?

Chances are becoming slim.

My eyes are satisfying my doubt.

The help will never come,

For no one is ever near.

My heart has become numb,

For no one is there to hear.
