    My Surrender

    Why am I being ignored?
    As I scream at the top of my lungs
    In an over-crowded room
    Everyone is forced to hear
    No one chooses to listen
    Open your ears people
    Save my voice, its course from self-inflicted Laryngitis
    Hope still springs from my outbursts
    Hope for a sudden white flag
    A surrender of an ear, all I need is one, two would be great.
    My voice remains a siren among the deaf
    Ignorance is false temporary bliss
    Now I know no earthly surrender will do
    Only my Father hears my quietest yell,
    And ignores not even my loudest whisper
    I am now all ears no longer choosing to ignore
    Even the most annoying sound he puts my way,
    The sound of a babies helpless cry use to make me cringe,
    Now that chill serves a reminder that I’m not the only one.

    Really well written. There's a lot of emotion in this. I can relate to this, there was a time I felt the same way.

    I wrote it in rehab. Im in recovery now and for me there was no greater inspiration than finding my life again.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
