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.
