A poem based on the characters Johnny and Sodapop from "The Outsiders". Actually, more-so Soda than Johnny, but, hey, it works for both of them.

(Sorta a Johnny/Soda poem)

Silence

I hear everything

Dreams, hopes, worries,

Everything

Everyone tells me everything

I hear everything

Yet no one hears me

Everything that was a-buzz

Turns silent

Silence

Everyone can count on me

I understand

But does anybody listen to me?

Silence

But, I don't mind

At least they have someone that'll listen

Someone that'll listen

Silence
