Can You Hear Me

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me? Am I stuck in silence?

Because every time I try to be heard

Because every time I try to be heard Closed ears and shut doors are stirred.

Can you hear me?

Are you listening? Can you hear me?

My voice is stomped beneath your feet

My voice is stomped beneath your feet But I’m far from admitting defeat.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me? Does respect cost that much?

I’m trying as hard as I can, I promise.

I’m trying as hard as I can, I promise. But It’s never a hit, just a miss.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me? Am I just a whisper?

My throat has become hoarse from hollering,

My throat has become hoarse from hollering, Someday, you’ll realize how deafening silence is

Can you hear me?
