Farewell

Just listen to me for a second.

You aren’t even listening?

Don’t shut me out, shut me down.

Take a moment.

I might not speak aloud.

I might not speak at the right moments.

I might not share, I might not spread, I might not declare.

But right now, I need to talk to you.

I need to shed, to whisper, to reveal.

But you aren’t even listening.

You are blocking me. Paving me. Closing me.

You’ve sealed me. Locked me. Rejected me.

Just listen for a second.

One second.
