Silent Sound

by Jemma   Sep 10, 2006


First breath
First dream
First laugh
First scream

Hear me
Do you hear me?
Singing my heart out
Safe in my cocoon
Singing out of tune

But no one can hear
Or they choose to ignore

It doesn't matter if it's sounds not quite right
I'm still here; they don't need to listen

First time I really cried
First time I tried to hide
First time I came to you
First time I bore my heart to you

Hear me
Do you hear me?
Or am I just noise, just sound
You weren't the one to bring me round

Ignore me
I'll take care of myself
The way I have and always will
And I have no need for silent sound
No one hears
No one

Hear me
Do you hear me?
Singing my heart out
Safe in my cocoon
Singing out of tune

    Hay there shadows within!

    (deep name by the way)

    Thanx for getting back to me, most people just egnore the comment you make and I'm always asking questions so it's nice to actually get a repply!

    I understand what you mean about being able to shout and peole not hearing. I'm one of those who shout alot so to speak but I am also one of those who listen.

    Coment about "him" duly noted,
    I whote that one when I was In a bit of a state so now I go back and look It Does need a bit of explaining.
    I've tried to explain it all in the poem I just wrote calld "HIM".
    If you want to know more then just let me know, I think Iv'e got my private message set up, so If you wanna talk about poetry or any thing at all just let me know! You seem like a pritty down to earth person, I may be wrong but theres only one way to find out and no one is so rich they can turn down a friend.
    thanx again
