Someone should sprinkle on my head
dews of cheers and mist of applauds
Maybe, I'll feel the frozen thumbs and fingers
from the touch of teeth-chewing cold
while walking on billowing breeze.
Someone should call me by name
tell me the story of how I sailed_
through the twirling tornadoes.
Maybe I'll get to fix the broken cartilages
feel the flows of bloods on fractured Joints
the scars, bruises and the invisible wounds
from the battle I forfeited to Beast of Geuvadan.
Someone Should give me a rose
buy me chocolates and some cupcakes.
Maybe I'll get to taste the sweetness of life
the refreshing scents of beauty-full nature
As I was bred from Streets of scavengers
hunting on sour foods blended with an acrid smells.
Someone should call my name!
whisper to my ears
"Soon, everything's gonna be fine"
Call My Name

Poet's note: This poem is a story of a young teen who strives so hard in silence, facing the odds of life and now he's losing courage and needs someone to call his name,his attention back so he can keep walking on track
This poem is an uplifting poem written for those whose courage is getting hard to hold onto as a source of upliftment
It was written when calamities of life keep striking like thunder and people turned deaf ears to my struggles as a young lonely teen.
I wanted to express the down and ups of life I've walked through and I hope the picture i painted did justice to that.
This poem is a red flag to me and a means to tell people to embrace , praise people that strive hard to live because it's not an easy task.
