"Listen" by Desiree

Will you listen to me? I’m going to propose that question again. Will you listen to me? What more do I have to do? What more do I need to prove? Why can’t it be enough? Why can’t I be heard? Is it about not understanding? Is it about my tone or word choice or timing? 

You won’t listen to me so maybe if I just keep asking questions, I’ll eventually get enough answers to be able to communicate your way, and maybe, just maybe – we might be able to get somewhere with all of this. It’s getting old staying stuck here in all of this. I’m getting tired of working so hard for all of this when you don’t at all. 

Why did I want you to listen to me so badly? Not a single idea anymore, so instead, I will listen to myself. I will listen to my will to leave this behind.
