Listened To Me

I needed someone to talk with A person that understood what I was saying The one who wouldn’t judge me The person that remained quiet while I spoke All I wanted was for somebody that listened to me Once was afraid to voice my opinions However, courage in my beliefs is what I achieved I stand proud now it’s as if my words even speak Made me a teacher through my talent When everyone was too busy you sat and listened to me Became the lending ears that I needed at times I’ve grown to depend on you being there I was allowed to say whatever I like Whether I’m wrong or right you didn’t mind Yelled at top of my lungs, still you listened to me Not in the form of a man nor woman Just ink I wrote on a line made me a creator I write at my own free will, without anyone to stop me Humbly I now watch my nouns and verbs spill onto paper Became closer than best friends could be See, when no one else did my pen and paper still listened to me
