The Invisible

by Erika   Feb 23, 2008


Thank you sir for hearing my cries
Believe me when I say I truly tried
To drown out the world with my heartfelt tears
It's hard to survive when no one hears

Had I someone to feed me I would not steal
I wouldn't have cuts waiting to heal
I wouldn't draw away when someone nears
Its hard to survive when no one cares

Thanks for seeing us when no one else could
Thanks for praying when no one else would
But together we stand and face our fears
Wipe away the remnants of our fallen tears

The poor with the poor, the lost with the lost
We'll survive together no matter the cost
The Lord will help and guide us all
Together we stand, divided we fall

*****

I wrote this in response to my friend Dennis' poem "Lost Children"

    Thank you so very much sweetie...I'm truly touched by this! It may not make sense to others unless they go read mine too...but I know what it's about and that's what matters most...right? I've never had anyone reply to something I wrote this way before...don't know what else to say right now <3
