Everyone needs someone to listen to them
now and then
We all want to be known
want to know we matter
Those of us who never learned
are always looking for answers
for justification of who we can’t help but be
…especially when no one will listen
That is why I always listen to those who ramble:
to the guy who knows he can write a bestseller
to the woman who knows she could love & be loved
to the addict who knows he could get clean
to the children who know they create
the most wonderful worlds from their imaginations
to the artist who knows he has a purpose
to myself who feels worth in my simplicity
Knowledge talks
and wisdom listens
so I try not to ignore and roll my eyes anymore…
Who am I to judge what is crazy or insignificant?

cried the tears that were held back; remembered that’s good sometimes; grateful that someone listens…
