being unheard

far from where I once sat

so much higher in the chair

brought it from where I was

to where I am not satisfied

being unheard as I am happy

with decisions made

and where I have ended up

just as high up at times

lower than ever lack of vitamin D

lack of serotonin on three pills

to make me feel better

about being unheard

as I am walking no one looks

as I pass on the right

or the left it doesn’t really matter

where I have been only where

I am going to be heard and then

all the doubters will line up to apologize

or congratulate whichever comes to mind

all the words spoken to these

silent books revealed at once

could result in an overload of sorts

not something I can’t handle

and I am sure I will appreciate

as I do the sun each morning

when it rises as I higher today

with positive thought

pounding out a path under foot

soldier for the thinking mind

ready to explode when given the chance

to expand I will stand higher

and for longer waiting with every breath

patient as always the patient

they want to study why I feel

the way I feel fine

line between doing okay and being crazy

to think that someday

this voice will be heard…
