the world calling

 

They don't know what else to do.

Everywhere they turn leads them into a darker hue.

They lose themselves in their yesterdays,

wishing there was more than just the music to be their escape.

Trying to fight back the tears,

she just wants to know if all guys really are going to treat her this way.

Disappointing him again, he just wishes that his dad would come to one game.

 

The world is calling, they're falling facedown.

The cries of the people are painfully loud.

Will someone hear them when they shout?

[like it's an anthem for the broken]

 

Will you meet them here?

Please, find me there. I'm standing right next to them,

crying toward the mountaintops, waiting for the sky to fall.

Is it to late for someone to hold me tight, tell me it's okay,

and make me free?

 

The world is beckoning for something more,

but they don't know it because they cannot see.

For the girl who harms her body and

the guy who has no morals and is empty inside,

their heart is on the floor in pieces, screaming to the winds,

 

"I tried!"

    This is a piece that speaks to many. It is powerful and full of meaning. I think that amongst the rhymes, pretty words, and emo poems there must be one with a true voice and that is yours! well done indeed!

    Speechless... This is very well written, and so painfully true for so many. So many emotions went through me as I read this piece.. one of which, brought me right back to that time and place. It's been a long time since I felt like that! Great work on this, and good luck in the contest

    Please, find me there. I'm standing right next to them,
    crying toward the mountaintops, waiting for the sky to fall.

    i love that image and feeling of 'waiting for the sky to fall.' that's absolutely brilliant.
    incredible piece.

    -'their'

    crying toward the mountaintops, waiting for the sky to fall.
    -that line definetly caught me.

    the flow is genius.

  • An anthem for all those struggling, looking, hoping, waiting for someone to care. Well done.
