Listen
October 2010 (9th grade)

Listen,
to the voice inside of me.
The angels' melody
of pure harmony.
Listen,
even if you don't want to.
Sometimes we have to
to know the truth.
There's a voice inside of me,
but you refuse to listen.
There is so much about me you don't know
and so much you will never know
all 'cause you won't listen.
You think you know everything
but no one made you King of Anything.
There's more to me
that what it seems.
You wouldn't know
because you won't listen.
Listen,
to me now.
A soul living in the shadow
but now arising.
Listen,
I'm torn between 
you and believing,
but you don't know what I'm feeling.
I yield you no loyalty
because you won't listen.
Listen,
I have a voice to be heard.
I will not fade away.
Here I am!
Bright as day.
Listen, I'm done believing you.
To gray,
you turn my skies of blue.
Oh!
How can I keep from singing?
My song is faith.
More than you gave,
and now it's too late.
I'm moving on
all 'cause you won't listen.
