“LISTEN”

LISTEN,

 DON’T JUST HEAR MY VOICE,

IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO GROW, BUT NOT CHOOSING SO ONLY TAKES ONES CHOICE,

LISTEN TO THE WORDS I SPEAK AND THEIR FEELINGS,

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORDS I SAY -I KNOW SOMETIMES THEY MAY HURT, BUT MOST TIMES THEY INVOKE HEALING,

WHEN I ASK YOU FOR A MINUTE PLEASE DON’T BLOW ME OFF,

PLEASE OH PLEASE LET ME FINISH…. PLEASE DON’T CUT MY SENTENCE SHORT – DON’T CUT ME OFF,

IF BUT FOR A MOMENT WILL YOU SIMPLY SIT AND LISTEN TO ME?

ALLOW YOUR EYES TO FOCUS ON THE WORDS I AM SAYING AND MY BODY MOTIONS AS I SPEAK,

COULD YOU HOLD YOUR THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, REMARKS, AND WAIT YOUR TURN?

I PROMISE TO DO THE SAME I AM ASKING OF YOU IN RETURN,

IS THERE A WAY FOR YOU TO NOT PUT MY FEELINGS DOWN?

THEY ARE MY FEELINGS AND WHEN YOU DISMISS THEM KNOWING THEY CAN’T SWIM  YOU ARE SIMPLY THROWING THEM INTO THE DEEP END OF A POOL AND WATCHING THEM DROWN,

WHEN I AM DONE SPEAKING WILL YOU TAKE A DEEP SIGH OF RELIEF?

WILL YOU MAKE ME FEEL AS IF I HAVE STOLEN YOUR TIME NO MATTER HOW BRIEF?

HAVE I TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU –  AM I A MODERN DAY THIEF?

 WHY DOES IT FEEL AS IF I HAVE FAILED YOU WHEN YOU’RE THE ONE NOT LISTENING TO ME?

I FEEL SO INCOMPLETE….. 

WHEN THE WORDS I SAY FALL ON DEAF EARS, 

AND ALL THE WHILE YOU ARE SPOON FEEDING MY DEEPEST FEARS, 

HAVING TO CONCEAL ALL THE THINGS THAT I FEEL WITHIN, 

I GUESS I WILL DIE HOLDING THEM, HOLDING ONTO ALL OF THEM, 

IF YOU CHOOSE TO TURN A BLIND EYE, HAVE A CLOSED MIND, OR TURN A DEAF EAR, AND NOT………

LISTEN.
