listen...

i sometimes wonder whether people hear your cry of help.

i sometimes think i talk too much. and i can't hear the cry of help from a friend. or maybe that other people talk to much and they can't hear me.

then what?

when you already feel so alone that you cry out to help. no one comes. they're too busy going about their lives to stop and listen. so then how can you be helped?

when all you need is one person to be there just to listen to you. just not to speak with their mouth but their eyes. and that person doesn't. you feel alone. you feel unwanted. you feel invisible.

that's why sometimes i choose to be quiet. just so that i can hear. the cry of help from someone. you notice their mood changes. the way they walk. they don't have life in them. when you find someone like that, listen. that's all they want. they want to tell someone of their troubles. they want a shoulder to cry on. they want a person to vent to.

the more people ignore them, the more they cry for help. the more they are quiet. the more they become invisible.

so listen. you may hear a cry of help.
