Hoping for an Ear
I look back through my past
and it asks and it holds
it screams out its presence
letting me know
I stand and I sit
but I can't sit still
it grabs and it scratches
the pain can get real
So I scream and I shout
til it all comes out
then I heal and I rest
I feel how I feel
Then it comes and it rests
but it won't slip away
so pencil and paper
and watch it all fade
He touched me
I wrote so
I no longer feel
so anything bad
never seems real
Then I watch how many
say they relate
how they had no dads
and they also got raped
how they can see
through my pair of eyes
how my words become law
my story becomes life
it brings us together
all through my words
So I write it all out
in hopes I'll be heard
