Do You Hear Me Or Are You Listening?
My pain shatters like a crystalline vase
Broken, spilled, pieces everywhere
I see the missing shards
Never fully assembling to its original form
So I don’t need to slow down for you to begin to concentrate or evaluate the words that I’m sayin'
So
Do You Hear Me? or Are You Listening?
I’m in an empty soundproof box, screamin', cryin' out
Wondering what life is really about
Beginning to plea
While insanity takes over me
Causing me to call out effortlessly
In an attempt that maybe just maybe someone will hear me
So
Do You Hear Me? or Are You Listening?
Life
All alone, lonely, sad
Could whatever I did, really be that bad?
Make me wanna sit back, think, and sulk
Sulking with thoughts of determination, interpretation, concentration
Think I’m stating that I feel by myself in this world
I’m left surrounded in darkness
So
Do You Hear Me? or Are You Listening?
Passion lies
Does it lie within love or lust?
How can it lie in love if it lacks trust?
Keeping this in makes me wanna combust!
So
Do You Hear Me?!? Or Are You Listening?
So with all the bridges burned
From the lessons learned
And the tables turned
And the feelings yearned
I want
To
Let it all go
Throw,
These burdens off a cliff, off a bridge, out my head
Dead
That part of me is dead
So
Do You Hear Me? or Are You Listening?
My heart aches, aches with such an intensity
So intense that with each pump of my heartbeat
It bleeds
Bleeds from all the souls I could've saved, if only I had been more brave
IF ONLY I HAD BEEN MORE BRAVE
If only I had been,
More brave
So Do You Hear Me? or Are You Listening?
Well if you were hearing then,
I want you to listen to me now
All these burdens that lied on my heart, now I can have a brand new start
The me that sinned, lied, cried, tried, and constantly fell short
The me that was ugly, worthless, would never amount to anything, limited possibilities
Is now free,
You see,
I have every opportunity that my Father has for me
Because I am a queen
Black. Strong, Beautiful
So
Did you just Hear Me? Or Were You Listening?
