Dedication:

To those who can't sleep

and sometimes cry at night.

To those feeling smaller than life.

To the trapped and

hating where they're at.

For those wishing they've breathed their last.

To those at dead ends

and in holes so deep,

they don't even bother to weep.

To those wanting heroes

and needing hope.

To those for whom the word hope is a cliched joke.

To everyone who has ever sold

their time and health for minimum wages.

To those living through dark ages.

To the defiant

To those screaming at the sky.

To those asking why.

I'm so sorry.

I wish I knew.

Because my words are for you.
