Why Don't You Understand Me?

In the silence, I speak so loud,

But my words are lost in the crowd.

My voice, it echoes, far and wide,

Yet in your ears, it seems to hide.

I craft my thoughts with tender care,

Send them soaring through the air.

But when they land, they're torn apart,

Lost somewhere between your heart.

Why don’t you hear the plea I send,

The gentle call that never bends?

Is it the space or is it time,

That twists my words, and steals the rhyme?

I reach for you with open hand,

But you don’t see, you can’t understand.

What keeps us locked in distant lands?

The ties that hold, like shifting sands.

And so I stand, in quiet plea,

Wishing that you could truly see,

The words that dance within my mind,

The ones I hope you one day find.
