Please Hear Me - A Poem about a writers voice

 Please Hear Me 

I write because no one listens

The ink bleeding from my hands 

My fountain pens fighting to keep up with demand

I write because no one listens 

no one hears me, even if I scream 

I feel invisible in a place where

I'm meant to be otherwise

I write because no one listens 

My voice dies out in the end

giving up, forget trying. 

They won't listen.

I write because no one listens 

I'm destined for greatness

but... 

what lays beyond is knowing...

 no one. will ever. truly hear me.

Please hear me. 

Authors note: I don't feel like this all the time but I do think there is an intrinsic difficulty in writers expression of themselves, our thoughts are personal, poetic even, so it's hard for us to feel actually heard. As a reader, we don't understand an author's true voice, nor their true intent, leaving a writer clawing the page in ink marks hoping someone out their will get it.
