Significant
If I told you not to come back,
would you listen--
knowing that to ignore me
would be what I needed most.
To not listen to me when
I say that I want to be free and
not listen
when I say that I need
time and space and flight--
don't hear me when I say that it doesn't matter
if you pay me no mind--
hear me when I say that it doesn't matter
right now
at this moment--
paying me no mind
is the most significant thing you could ever do.
