Is There Anybody Out There? Poem by Charlie F. Kane

Hello,
Is that you over there?
Can you see me?
Don't walk away, I'm here!
Can you hear me?
Shall I speak a little louder?
Don't go away, I'm here!
Won't you come and speak to me,
Say anything is all you have to do,
So don't walk away,
I'm only here.

Please,
Is there anybody out there?
Won't somebody talk to me?
Am I alone?
I don't think so,
So, please,
Is there anybody out there?

Is it something I said?
Why do you leave me alone?
Was it something I did?
I could go back and change
If you stopped walking away from me.
Why am I feeling this way?
I did nothing wrong,
So please stop walking away.

Please,
Is there anybody out there?
Won't somebody talk to me?
Am I alone?
I don't think so,
So, please,
Is there anybody out there?

Left here all alone,
Banging my head against the wall,
There isn't anyone out there.
They left me all alone.
What will they say now I'm gone?
Another mad buggar not all there,
Was never right,
Never normal.
All I wanted was a word,
So why did you walk away?
Did you stop and think?
How do you feel,
Knowing I'm banging my head
Against the wall?
