Listen

Listen to my heartbeat
it proves that I exist
feel its rhythmic drumming
strumming beneath my wrist

Listen to my pain cry
it proves that I endure
feel its anguished screaming
streaming, unchecked and pure

Listen to my anger
it proves that I can feel
feel its hatred raging
waging battles surreal

Listen to my joy sing
it proves that I can mend
feel the warmth and healing
revealing hatreds end

Listen to my heartbeat
it proves that I survive
feel its power surging
urging my soul to thrive

Wonder

If I could see right through you
reach the center of your soul
I wonder what I'd find there
what truths would I be shown

and if I could get inside your head
to dream the things you dream
I wonder if I'd hear my name
or only hear your screams

and if I could somehow read your thoughts
before they had been shared
I wonder what I'd find inside
I wonder who lives there
