I Don't Know Why I Even Try

Soft-spoken
Not profane
Another argument I must refrain,

From sharing my thoughts
Calling the shots
Hoping my stance comes clear
And that my respect isn't seen as mere

Once I step up,
To the conversation
I can already feel the agitation

"I disagree with this"
"I disagree with that"
Could you even hear each other's perspective?
We're getting off track!

Combative is the spirit
Being heard is the goal
If you refuse to listen, the purpose is gone as a whole

So I ask you
The one with malice in their eyes,
Why did I even try?
