If I Tell You Today

Would you listen?

If I tell you today,
would you listen?
The toxic sedation of this world,
has left me gasping for air.

If I tell you today,
would you listen?
The weight of my heartache,
could even drown in the Dead Sea.

If I tell you today,
would you listen?
I don’t know where to hide,
my house is no longer a home.

If I tell you today,
would you listen?
Why these accolades and trophies on the shelves;
highlight the failure marked on my forehead.

If I tell you today,
would you listen?
How can you be the savior?
When killing is all that you know.

If I tell you today,
you won’t listen.
