You don't listen
so I listen instead.
You don't watch
so I watch instead.
It doesn't matter what I do,
it doesn't matter what I say
or what I text
or what I express.
You don't listen
so I ignore you when you talk.
You don't watch
so I look away when you want attention.
I stand on the table and ask for an audience.
For once your attention is on me,
but so is everyone else's.
I don't know why I did this,
but it's happening.
You don't listen.
So I'm making you listen.
Next time, you'll listen to me.
