Come and See

Do you ever think that maybe nobody listens to you?

Do you ever think they'll hate you- doesn't matter what you do?

Do you ever think that everything they say just isn't true?

Do you ever think they only focus anger on you, too?

Do you ever wonder maybe that nobody's on your side?

Do you ever wonder if someone would miss you if you died?

Do you ever want somebody so badly you simply cried?

Do you ever wish somebody would just take you back inside?

Maybe I'm a joker.

Maybe this smoke.

Maybe I'm a liar

and this is only my first joke.

Maybe I'm a house

and you're my friendly lighter.

'Cause the world isn't meant

for the silent, passive fighters.

Maybe I'm just laughing.

Can you hold my hand?

'Cause we are now walking

to a tortured, silent land.

Come and talk.

Talk again.

I am where I've always been.

In a box.

Down the hall.

While they torture and they call.

Come and balk.

Balk again.

I am where I've always been.

In a ball,

down the hall,

in a box

with the pox

of my mind

as they bind

me in two,

me in three,

and watch you,

so come and see.

Beautiful poem, Dante. We all live in that box sometimes. Not willing or sometimes not be able to communicate or living as we want. Well done. :) Rudi

Such a pleasure to read Dante.

Reaching out is the hardest thing to do when we are so busy constructing the barriers that must protect us when the reach out fails since we have doomed the reaching out to failure before we even reached out in the first place due to constructing instead of reaching out with our all.

[Rafy T.Nym]

This is a wonderful lyrical poetry expressing the most complicated emotion in a simple but beautiful way.

No wonder, we are sometimes confused about our own life, this confusion can make us silent. .for awhile. But, the truth is that silence is not weakness.

A great theme expressed in such constructive way,well done.

This piece is very well-written! It was very full of emotion and seems as though it was genuinely written from the heart. Keep up the good work!
