Don’t stop listening
Before I speak
Wait- Nevermind
I think it’s better to just not speak
For a while it was quiet there
yet
You listened more to my silence than me
I think it’s better never to tell anyone anything
Because then you don’t have to deal with the pain of no one listening
See,
I could tell you the story of the tortoise and the hare
But I think you’d like the story of the jackrabbit and the box turtle more
patience is not a virtue
The jackrabbit kicked in the turtles door
And sure the box turtle had previously won
But an hour later and the jackrabbit had his entire family’s blood splattered on the floor
My wish is not to be patient
I wish to scream
The only way you’ll listen is for me to juxtapose my silence but doing so replaces my need of your consideration which you have set limitations
So wait- Nevermind
I think it is better to just not speak
But before your attention span is disposed
There’s this proverb and it goes
Even if a princess kicks a teapot off the table
And I want to change the meaning there a little bit
Because even if I were to scream and replace my limitations for what I thought deserved to be your considerations you would not be listening
Haha, I’m sorry
I think I’m kind of full of it
There’s this itchy bottomless pit which tastes of steel
My fingers are sometimes still, unable to feel
And I tend to go a little bonkers, a little mad
See there’s this child within me who’s always sad
And I cannot let her go she needs my guidance
I think we leave too many of us behind
We forget what it means to not enjoy the silence
So, no
Uh, let me correct myself
I think it’s better to speak
Because whether or not you enjoy it
Why should I the hatter, the princess, the
jackrabbit
Spare your feelings
Give you your eternity of silence
When you’re the one who’s not listening
So now. You’re going to listen.
While I speak.
