Can you hear me?

Should I scream
With silence I've learned I'm not heard

Should I whisper
Will the softness of my tone make you consider

Can you hear it
Beating the rhythm, that sad blues

Blues singing jazz
Do you like the tune

If I sway my hips
Will your hearing improve

The swish of satisfaction
I see you like those moves

But if all you hear is the swish
Do you hear my tune
Or do you only hear that sad sad blues

Lost

I feel lost
Like the world has lost me
All the changes 
All the time
Never right

I feel lost
Like its crashing down
Always cries
Always thinking
Never changing

I feel lost
Like I'm drowning from
Always hurting
All the Sorrow
Never enough

I'm going under

Consumed

You tried to break me
In the process of breaking yourself
You tried to break me

Back across knee
Pushing
Pushing so hard it snapped and cracked

Crackling like the fireplace
The burn as I fell into the flame
Flames that consumed me

But you see
They became me
One

One breath the saved me
Falling in ashes inhaling the smoke
It  didn't burn me

my chest did not heave
It did not tumble
But it consumed the smoke that was of flames

Those flames that had burned me
On the inside strength
Stronger

Strong enough to go
To be
Just me

A new definition
The love of alone
Free
