11 May Unheard

Not soon did she realize
What once was wrong might have been right?

Not soon did she realize
Quiet was nothing but strangling heart and struggling emotions

Just to show her perspective
And throw in some light

‘Alright… We got your point.

Disheartened and confused
As she stood alone, those tears blurred the sky
And … a thought ran through her mind

Not soon did she realize
Better to let it go… it’s all a waste of time

Next day, and the day after
Every time she wore a fake smile
In a hope that some day… they’ll all recognize
When they learn the other side…

Not soon did she realize
To be heard, she had to write …
