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 AP: 3rd place 2021 Posted on February 23, 2019

Some of us care, some of us listen! Especially to your wonderful poetry, you have so much to say!

Stop listening so intently. We can't even hear ourselves talk!... LOL. ... Food for thought, Line. ~ gw

Poetry cares. Poetry listens. Poetry answers. Poetry understands. :)

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).

Indeed... Sounds SO VERY familiar. Writing poetry is the best solution I've found too.

I imagine many can identify with this, frustrating feeling you have expressed. Well done :)
