Desperately screaming against the chaotic wind of life

Wanting to be heard

Wanting to be remembered

Almost desperate enough to say anything

Hear me!

Remember me!

So many wanting to be heard

Yet too many to be remembered

The world’s chaos swirling around me

Their wind, it chokes my breath

Silences my screams

Is becoming the wind the only way?

Silence others

Choke others

They are forced to look at me

Many hurt me with this tactic

I watch them and see them flourish

Still, I cannot be a part of this chaos

The wind stings when you stand within it

I cannot control the wind

I cannot control the chaos

Somewhere there is a place where the chaos does not brim

My independent ideas and thoughts protect me

Building a safe place for myself within myself

A barrier to the wind
