Listen, Do Not Speak

I open my mouth to speak
But no one listens

I open my mouth to speak
But the others speak over me

I open my mouth to speak
But I am ignored

I open my mouth to speak
But the subject is changed

I open my mouth to speak
But say the wrong thing

I open my mouth to speak
But I am only allowed to say what you want to hear

I open my ears to listen
And am forced to hear every word you say

I open my ears to listen
And do not have a chance to stop listening

I open my ears to listen
And hear only about you

I open my ears to listen
And hear the same thing over and over again

I don't want to listen anymore
I want to be heard
