Description
Stop being
The loudest voice
In the room.
You talk enough
For two people, but
You should be listening
Enough for one.
Not every
"That's what she said"
actually needs to be said
Out loud.
There's so much to be said
In the silent glances
That you miss
While you speak.
You missed
Those shared confidences before
And look
Where it got you?
You're back to yelling
For attention
While the quiet ones
Are looked at.
I know that there
Are people who
Would gladly tell you
What you need
To hear.
You just can't hear them
Over all
Your screaming.
