I

Listen

Listen to me when I talk
That's the least I can ask from you good people
For by this world, I am really mocked
Do the least and atleast listen when I talk
Listen when I scream out the atrocities of my silent tears
Listen as I regurgitate scribbles and snippets of my worst fears
Listen, I have not much of great light within the time span of my living years
Listen, I need not you to understand
Atleast empathise and least of all, just hear
Listen as I narrate how they promised to be by my side but when needed the most, they were not even there
Listen, all I need is your ear
They say charity begins at home, and believe you me this load alone I can't bear
Listen to my cries, I feel therapeutic sessions when my pain is being shared
Listen to me, induce a safe space so that once in a while, the poor guy does not feel scared
I ask you kindly, lend me your ears
Listen to me
Listen as I bleed out words from the wounds of my ripped soul
Trying to patch up such delicate and heavily moulded holes
Find it of no surprise when I say I believe that the world is cold
Listen to me, I fell too hard, selling out how brittle I am on a tar road
Such intensity by it, dedicated to mock and Rob me off all my goals
Rendered to as worthless, useless
Ruthless tongues pointing you out as clueless
Listen to me, for my words are the last thing of mine that carries any true value
Listen to me, truth be told
