The Silent Listener

Everyone needs to be heard
At least once.
Everyone needs to say their mind
At least once.
Everyone needs to stop and listen
At least once.
Everyone needs to sit in silence
At least once.

You're heard
All the time.
You say what comes to mind
All the time.
She sits in front of you
All the time.
She always listens
And never says a word.

What about her?
What about the silent listener?
She has problems.
She has feelings.
You never listen.
You're never silent.
But she wishes to be heard
At least once.

So why?
Why don't you listen to her?
