Listen To My Heart

by Marlena - Cancer

As I sat here staring at the dark blue sky,
I wonder if my life will ever change.
I have been down a long and weary journey,
seaching for my soul of what makes me whole.
I've seen life taken away from the innocents
while the guilty go free leaving a trial of tears
behind of the ones in mornn.
My tears flow down my face,
making me wish that I could fight this demon for 
the many who have lost their lives in this unpredictable
world.

My heart is all tired up in knots, as I sat here wondering 
if there's anyone that cares.
I get so emotional by everything that I see around me.
The homeless,the abused ones, drug addicts, aids and cancer patients, and the ones who are living day by day without 
anyone there to help them find their way.

My heart bleeds for all my brothers and sisters.
I pray for salvation for eveyone on earth in hopes of
one day soon that all these wars stop and come to an end. 

Listen to my heart, 
Hear the message it's sending through the emotions 
that are overflowing my viens.
It's the only thing that could bring change in this 
forgotten world where compassion seems to have run
out. 

Reason for writing:

    Just life and what I see around me.  People just don't care about each other.  It's just all about themselves.  I feel like the world could be so much better if there was more people who cared about making it better for each and everyone. I'm not GOD, so the powers that be will only allow me to do so much. All that I can do is do my part and pray and hope that there will be others that follow.
