Cry For Understanding

Please don’t look that way…
Please don’t speak that way…
Please don’t go the other way…
Please don’t avoid the issue….
Please don’t hold it like a treasure….it will never be…
Please don’t make it something special…..because it’s not…
Please don’t say it’s being absurd…it’s causing pain…

To know is to know when something isn’t right…
To love is to understand why
To understand is to listen to the heart
To listen is to hear
To hear is to care

See it from this way
Feel it from this way
How else?
Choose to…
Help to show…..give the words to understand….to take the insecurities away…
It’s tearing at the soul
