Listen Closely

A Poem by Rogerh

Can you hear it?

Listen Closely

If you listen to me closely

You will hear my silent pain

It runs deep beneath me

Like a New York subway train

I keep my feelings well hidden

Like a treasure never found

No map will ever find them

Buried to deep 'neath the ground

Dragons are made to be slayed

Mine can never be vanquished

Memories of my childhood

Always keep me anguished

If you listen to me closely

You will hear my silent pain
