I have gotten to the point where I've come to believe that my words mean nothing.
Anything I say, any voice I might try and use,
Will never be noticed, and it's something I'm beginning to get used to.
I mean come on, who would ever notice me?
Who would ever think something I say is important?
Nowadays people only hear what they want to hear,
And that usually comes from their own speech.
I mean recently it seems like almost every day I'm getting talked over.
Even if I try to agree, before I can even do that,
They just continue on like I wasn't going to say anything.
I don't have a problem listening,
But shouldn't a conversation go both ways?
And if I can't have a say,
Then why even try and speak at all?
And of course, I fear,
That this one day find a way to appear in my pursuit as a poet.
I already question my worth,
And with my words being stepped over like mud and dirt,
I fear people will do the same to me poetically,
And my words will forever mean nothing.
