I'm not listening!
La...la...la...la...
/Would you listen to me please/
I can't hear you!
/That's because you have your fingers in your ears/
Leave me alone!
I don't want to listen!
/But it's important/
And now you can't see me!
/Yes I can/
Well I can't see you!
/You've got your hands over your eyes/
Shielding my tears
/Why are you crying?/
Because you can't see me
/Yes I can/
Fine then you don't see me,
You don't hear me.
/You're the one with your fingers in your ears/
Because I choose not to listen,
You don't realise you're doing it.
/Doing What?/
Being noticed, wanted.
/I don't understand/
I'm in your shadow,
People meet me,
Then they meet you,
Then.........
/You've taken your hands away/
Seeing and hearing doesn't matter,
I don't exist!
/I'm Sorry/
I know, me too,
I still love you,
I'm just jealous.
Wish I could be better.....
......Wish I could be
YOU
/oh/

Brilliant
This is another great piece of writing here. And, again, so true. Don't all families do this? Lol. Brilliant -
wow

Lovely poem, captures the way things like conversations can be confusing and make sense at the same time.

/good/ very/
I think this is a very good piece of writing. You feel the painful pull of misunderstanding - but the fact there's dialogue at all seems to imply love in there. Really like this one. The title applies to both speakers (and probably to all of us - we all have a child inside us). xx deb -
