"Plea"


Is there anyone around 
Who can offer an ear?
Or just lend me some time 
And watch me spew out this dull line?

Is there anybody here
Who could be kind enough to hear?
Or shall my tears and memories,
My fears, and my calamities,
Be lost into obscurity, 
And fall upon deaf ears?

Am I the judge of a hung jury?
Preaching to a sleeping crowd?
Will my words pull out the perfect chord,
Strike the chime and sound aloud?
Or shall these echoes, like the day,
Run with the sun just to wither away?

How long will I keep talking,
Pleading, screaming at this wall?
Why can't I drop this lifeline?

Because I would not bear the fall.
