if you do not acknowledge something, its not there.
Take my hand. Listen,
I want to show you something.
Take a breath, down to your stomach, release. Listen.
Can you hear? Everyone’s thinking, no one saying.
Listen, granite soft, it’s a whisper, creeping up. We all know. Listen.
I proclaim deafness.
Listen.
Pretend it isn’t there.
I wouldn’t walk an inch in your shoes.
Listen.
You own his skin, under mine. Blue berry eyes lie.
Is everybody happy now?
Listen.
If walls could talk? Scream.
I’ll try explain once more.
Listen. Turn away.
I’ve had enough. Listen.
I underestimated you.
Things change. Fumbling for words.
Listen.
Won’t let you win.
Listen,
I want to show you something.
Take my hand.
Listen,
can you hear?
