I am speaking.
Do you hear me?
Are you listening?
Do you understand?
I am trapped
In a dream.
A nightmare.
No matter how I scream
How loud I am,
You won't listen.
How can you hear me
If you don't trust
what I say?
My voice is your victim.
Crushed by what you say.
You call me unimportant.
You call me stupid.
You tell me what I say
doesn't matter.
I wish someone
would listen
to what I'm trying
to say.

It can be hard sometimes, to get people to listen to what you say. Even when your trying really hard, they just don't care.
Yet again another excellent write from you.
Thank you for sharing.
Holly.
