Listen

Just sit and listen…
Is that life I hear?
Why am I afraid?
I should have no fear

It’s not like I haven’t
Been through this before
But each time is different
Each taking more

The pieces, they’re plucked
From what is left of me
Is there anything left?
Anything you can see?

I’m pulled this way and that
And up and down
So many directions
My smile has become a frown

The world, it stopped speaking
The Faeries did, too
But not the ghosts that haunt me
They seem to have no clue

I can’t hear anymore
The world has gone silent
If I just sit and listen
Perhaps it will be compliant

Just sit and listen…
That’s what I’ll do
As words float through my mind
Not everything’s about you.
