hey you,

do you know what you've done?

hey you,

are you almost finished?

hey you,

why are you leading the innocent astray?

hey you,

why are you still wearing that outdated mask?

hey you,

when will you change?

hey you,

do you know that i care?

hey you,

do you know i can see right through you?

hey you,

was that really "right" what you did?

hey you,

was the extra medal on your shelf worth it?

hey you,

do you know that i care?

hey you,

why do you say one thing but do the complete opposite?

hey you,

are you listening to what i'm saying?

hey you,

are you almost finished?

hey you,

don't you care about making a "real" difference?

hey you,

why do you do these things?

hey you,

why do you fake a cry for applause?

hey you,

why do you pretend to help those who are hurting?

hey you,

why do you avoid me like my words have no meaning?

hey you,

do you know that i care?

hey you,

are you almost finished?

About the Creator

poetryinwaiting

I love all things writing...though I am particularly biased towards good, vulnerable poetry. I love pouring my heart on a page with every piece I write. Life is for expressing, not containing.
