Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Nobody Listens

Interrupting at every chance
Why is it nobody listens
Why is it nobody cares

Just once she’d like to express
Her inner self to the full extent

Without needing to elbow
For her place on the podium
For her place in the sun

Why is it nobody cares
Why is it nobody listens

Andrew Fairchild February 24, 2019 at 2:02 AM Some of us care, some of us listen! Especially to your wonderful poetry, you have so much to say! Line Gauthier February 24, 2019 at 9:52 AM LOL Andrew, poetry hugs going out to you.

Gershon Wolf February 23, 2019 at 10:38 PM Stop listening so intently. We can't even hear ourselves talk!... LOL. ... Food for thought, Line. ~ gw Line Gauthier February 24, 2019 at 9:52 AM LOL Gershon, all in good fun.

Swetha Vangaveti February 23, 2019 at 10:30 PM Poetry cares. Poetry listens. Poetry answers. Poetry understands. :) Line Gauthier February 24, 2019 at 9:52 AM Absolutely, Swetha. Thankfully!

Rhona Mcferran February 23, 2019 at 7:38 PM Well, the great thing about poetry is- you can express yourself without interruption! ;) I love and FAV this... so perfectly worded! It reminds me of something Caren wrote a while back (about getting together with her friends, where everyone was talking... but no one was listening). Line Gauthier February 23, 2019 at 7:44 PM Indeed... Sounds SO VERY familiar. Writing poetry is the best solution I've found too.

Heidi Sands February 23, 2019 at 7:31 PM I imagine many can identify with this, frustrating feeling you have expressed. Well done :) Line Gauthier February 23, 2019 at 7:43 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Heidi.
