Am I Heard? (Poem)
-
Am I Heard?
Do you ever think loudly?
Well I sure do,
I ponder these questions
But no answer will doI stay wide awake
Staring at the stars
Hoping deep down
That something new will come.But I find myself lost
Just waiting alone
Wishing and dreaming
For what I don’t knowPerhaps I am strange?
Explaining it wrong?
But I hope you understand
At least in some formI think I seek Quiet,
Silence from my mind
Just a break from the noise
Do you see it like I?My brains being squeezed
And my thoughts are too deep
I hope I’m explaining
I just wish to be freeJust a short moment
A second of time
To just breathe and sit still
And enjoy what is lifeTo just hear my heart beat
No worries at all
Thoughts would cease
And I could enjoy it allDo you understand?
I don’t think you will
But on the small chance
Please tell I’m heard.I am so tired
It just all hurts
Pondering those questions
Where no answers will work.-Matty Angel

It can be frustrating and exhausting when searching for answers and none come. Even though it’s not satisfying, it’s ok to not know even if only for now. Sometimes we figure things out eventually but our brain needs a break from all the thinking. Sometimes that’s easier said than done but sometimes it can help to remind ourselves it’s ok to not know.
