What Can You Tell
What can you tell?
The one you talked to ;
very recent,
The one whose Story;
you didn’t hear enough.
One who tried to approach;
The one who was trying to Show.
What held you from not listening more,
Your time of avoiding things that are
told from Heart core.
What can you tell ?
The courage to come up
may have shed from your negligence,
Who is held in your Priority list?
A life that holds importance
to make work your empathetic instincts.
Just some time to spare
for that somebody who thought You would care.
What can you tell?
If you build this thick skin
for that Somebody ;
For Everybody.
To not let loose your peace.
To act distant ,not feel for
What other is trying to speak.
What Good are you a Person
who shut their eyes;
when they very well could Have Seen.
What can you tell?
If not from the silence.
You think you can hold for forever
You wont ask for somebody's reliance!
Who made you like that ?
Your pain?
It couldn’t have made you
less of this Self stature person you Became.
What can you say for;
things you survived without
might be exactly what others are in need;
The one act of kindness
for other than yourself,
You could have done with utter belief.
The one Gesture for,
somebody your instinct calls
may Surpass the idea of being OK remaining unknown.
Someday Someone might be filled with guilt,
on realizing too late for lives they should have owned.
What Can you tell?
How many Stories are listed in your own?
