Speak My Peace

Let me please
Speak my peace
All ears
On me
All eyes
Because I never get a word out
Edgewise 
It’s not my place
To get in your face
Causing a big scene
Because you never bring your speech
To cease
To let your mouth
And mind 
Recline
But this time
I ask 
I plead
Please
Hear me out
While you stop
To breathe
Please
Let me 
Speak my peace
