Listen

I listened to you.
I put on your shoes,
Walked a couple miles.
Mimicking you mannerisms and style.
I saw what you see
It's obvious life is cheap.
I listened to you,
Put thought in your critique.
Now I'm lost more than before.
I'm in need of help?
Do you not hear my screams.
Can you ignore cause you can't see.
I listened to you.
Now can you listen to me
