The Poet Sky

How many times
have I repeated the same words
to an empty room
to feel like someone’s listening?

How many times
have I made the same arguments
to someone who isn’t there
to feel like someone cares?

How many times
have I devised a different way
to express an idea
to feel like others will listen?

How many times
will I walk the same path
until I finally stand up
and start to speak?
