There are times we must stop judging and just LISTEN to what another is saying. Our friends, our children, our family, even a stranger.  Do not complete their sentences.  Do not ignore their unspoken words. Do not encourage silence.  JUST LISTEN…

LISTEN

Smiling to cover the hurt

Laughter becomes the substitute for crying

Walking fast to slow the run

Having sex to forget it all

The next day is still the same

Layered emotions of unspoken words

Not certain if you or you will listen to what must be said

This is my life that is hanging by a thread

This constant storm that’s invisible to you

Keeps me confused and searching for

Who I am to be…

Where I am to be…

Are you willing to listen to me?

Can you understand my emotions?

Will you embrace what I am feeling?

Will you laugh at me again as I struggle to explain

The storm that I control in me

When I speak…Listen!!!
