I am the Raven
By L. McLaunter
From my deepest condolences,
I regret to inform
anyone that feels
like they are stuck
nobody will listen
if you don’t make them.
You can’t expect no one to hear
if you don’t yell.
Edger Allen Poe’s story The Raven will tell you,
you won’t be heard if you whisper “nevermore”. You as the raven have to caw loud enough where people can hear you chant “nevermore”.
Be the raven and make them
Make them listen. You tell yourself everyday “I am the raven”. But you need to believe it.
Caw loud and proud and shout “Nevermore”!
Don’t be Lenore, be the raven.
I am the raven and I always will keep chanting,
Cawing “Nevermore”.
