Silence Unheard

Sometimes we stay up at night
And hope that things will be alright
They say that bad things come in threes
But even then we aren't at ease

It's not fair, why me, why now?
That bad luck seems to always prowl
When you can't seem to get a break
And worry how much is at stake

Don't give up you're not alone
There are many others also prone
At times we all face this dread
When we stay up all night in bed

Our silence is a warning call
And one that we should not ignore
When you feel like you have no choice
Because no one ever hears your voice

I know you feel you're in a trap
And also lost without a map
If reaching out, your biggest fear
When you're needing someone near

But don't feel bad you have not failed
When life's journey has derailed
Just knock or write or ring and phone
And remember you are not alone
