See, Feel, Hear Poem by stephanie simmons

Do you see what I see?
Do you see the pain behind my eyes,
reminding me that it was al lies.
The scares on my soul,
man that love has taken it's toll.
The shoes I have walked in,
but because of that I'm stronger within.
Do you see me when I am around,
or am I lost and never to be found.
How about where I'm coming from,
I know it sounds crazy, it may even sound dumb.

Do you feel what I feel?
Do you feel the pain in my heart,
it feels like it has been ripped apart.
The saddness in my tears,
they said they would chase away all my fears.
Why I feel the way I feel,
I knew the odds and I still took them up on their deal.

Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear the voices,
they offer so many different choices.
The voices in my head,
I wish they were dead.
Hear what I say,
I pray for a better day.

Do you know what I know?
Do you know the reason why I don't trust,
the words they said held together like dust.
The reason I don't love,
most of my reasons went to the heavens above.

Do you understand what I understand?
Do you understand what I have been through,
I wish someone could tell me what to do.
Do you understand the darkness inside me,
I wonder, could you ever see?

Can a heart?
Can a heart still brake even after it has broken?
Can a heart still brake after it stops beatting?
Can a heart hurt even though it's cold, empty,
loveless and lonely?
Can a heart learn to love again after it has been
torn, beaten and broken?
Can a heart heal after it has known nothing but sarrow?
Can you heal a heart that don't even know it has broken?
