Who Will Listen?

February 7, 2022

Who will listen
when you talk about your life
when you try to tell people
how much it hurts?

Who will listen
when an ordinary person
tries to speak out
about something that’s gone wrong?

Who will listen
when another person complains
about how society let them down
about how wrong the world’s become?

Until you open your mouth and speak
You can’t know the answer
But when you do, it might surprise you
just who will listen
