Best Listened Poems

I was in a funk,
In a state of debunk
In a state of despair
Depressed and hollowed out
All I could do is just shout

Help me
Help me
Help me Lord God, Help me out
And
In my desperation I prayed,
And this is what God said
My son, my daughter Listen to the...

Growing up is hard even harder as a teen
Only you are right and everyone else is being mean
Problems are epic and situations turn so bad,
And instead of trying - you act out pretty mad.
In my story handed there's only one to blame,
Names are for later...

Please tell me if it's true 
Is it possible that you 
Have lied to me again 
With no reason in the end 

Left me broken hearted 
Achieving what you wanted 
Is this the way you play? 
The girls that come your way?

You Never Listened
by Michael R. Burch
 
You never listened,
though each night the rain
wove its patterns again
and trembled and glistened...
 
You were not watching,
though each night the stars
shone, brightening the tears
in her eyes palely fetching...
 
You paid love no notice,
though she lay in my arms
as the...

my mom used to tell me not to fall in love
until a boy came along that knew I was perfect
she told me not to sing my favorite songs
with somebody who would easily forget
the way they made me feel
so I never did
and I never mixed those...

Child I've told you so! 
Slow your pace of growing old.
Why won't you listen....

You scream and shout
Or what it seems like
Nobody is listening
Nobody seems to care
You've looked for help
Just about everywhere
You've given up
You're done
Nobody listened
And now that you're gone
Everyone is listening...

OF THEE I WING

Certain people claim that I am free
Ain’t that a god damned gas?
I assure you that being as un-free as me
Is a predominate pain in the a*s

It ain’t right
Restricting my flight
And I’ll tell you who I hold responsible for having grounded my wings
I...

Thy Heavenly Father You listened,
You were there for me last night,  as I sat and weeped,
Thy Heavenly Father you heard me, as I crumbled in tears from deep within,
Thy Heavenly Father, you held my tear shed face, as I let go, in my own...

I listened
The sound of the gushing waters on the rocks
Soft sounds soothing to this troubled heart
Soothing and mending
I listened
My soul is yet at peace longing for more
Why is it so demanding so wearing?
Why is it so exhausting? Heavily I breathe seeking to catch a breath
Why...

When threat, doubt or danger treacherously
loomed over me, I felt the despicable
untruthfulness of most friends
whose mouths were volcanos 
erupting, destroying what I had built:
that stronghold of trust towering
over them when their trustworthiness
would have gladden me. ..
not being torn apart by their
misdeeds and pretenses.

I listened to...

If only they had listened
Things would not have get out of hands
as it is now but they were selfish 
Wanting so much for themselves 
The masses are left behind.
If only they had listened to  the 
Voice of Chinue Achebe We could have
Been smiling now.
If...

she listened to his whisper


he was so chipper
she listened to his whisper
their desires finally met
she only wanted to dip her feet wet
it was just so right
for that first night
just only her feet
getting royaly treated
he wasn't going anywhere
so he had all the time to spare
... this...

I wish I had listened
About my drinking and driving,
Now my best friend is dead
Because I drove without caring or thinking.

I wish I had listened
About drugs and all the kinds,
For now my brain is damaged
I can no longer control my mind.

I wish I had listened
As my...

I should have listened once to what
my ears were hearing.
If I had, I would have known
the end was nearing.

If I’d listened to your heart
when I should have,
I would’ve realized you’d given
all that you could give.

If I’d listened once
to what your eyes were saying,
I wouldn’t be...
