here is a voice not once listened to,
\nhere are the eyes not once been opened,
\nhere is the hand forced not to do,
\nhere is the mind not much enlightened.<\/p>\n
amidst all the growing expectations
\nhere is the one not supposed to falter.
\nin the middle of everyone\u2019s anticipation
\nhere is the one believed that could conquer.<\/p>\n
and yet who is this that is believed
\nbut possesses a total lack of confidence?
\nwho is this one supposed to succeed
\nbut grapples endlessly with ambivalence?<\/p>\n
who knows that behind that cold exterior
\nlies hidden the weak, passive and unassuming?
\nwho knows that in order to please i surrender
\nbefore failure renders me barely breathing?<\/p>\n
here is the voice not once listened to,
\nclamoring to be heard, seeking the good.
\nhere is the face without the cold bravado
\nopen, unmasked, hoping to be understood.<\/p>\n
to the co-conspirator, the techie guru, the guitar tutor, the PEx partner-in-crime\u2026 here is a voice not once listened to, here are the eyes not once been opened, here is the hand …<\/p>\n
\nto the one who scared the wits out of me while driving in UP @ 2 in the morning\u2026
\nto my best bud\u2026
\nto the big bro i never had\u2026
