Escaping Whispers

Whispers trying not to be heard
Crying tears wanting to be seen
No one understands another's world
Everyone has a personal dream

Everyone looks for another place
Another identity, another face
Something to assist them in escape
A way to recognize what's theirs to take

It's a very long way to go
A very tiring life
Looking at the road below
But blocking out all strife

It's the smile that hides behind the frown
Waiting to come out
It's the way we scowl, the way we moan
That hides our inner shouts

The truth is being turned away
People prefer the lies
The inconsiderate and vile are here to stay
Invading homes like flies

They are still here, they do exist
The kind and thoughtful ones
Come out and shine through the dreadful mist
You're needed by the world
