Finally Heard

For him everyday was the same

Fake smiling through hours that dragged

Walking through the darkest tunnel

Hearing His screams echo back to him

Surrounded by the crowds

He strummed guitar tunes

Nobody listened 

Only he could hear 

The blood dripping down his fingertips

 

He kept falling 

Till no longer he could get up

Too tired of carrying

All those feeling along

And one night

 he looked down at the skyline

Waiting for it to swallow him whole, unnoticed 

That night he stepped on the roof

Ready to take the leap 

Just when he heard it, a soft voice 

Hey are you okay? She whispered

That night she made him smile

As She Listened to his tears

And sang his songs in the darkest tunnels 

That night was when

He was finally heard

For that night was when

He had finally made a friend
