Poems

Listen and Understand

Listen are you listening?
Can you please understand.
I listen to every single thing that you tell me.
I understand what your going through and I never judge your decisions.
I take the time out to think about the things that you tell me and give you an alternative.
But you are so closed minded by what society tells you that you don't think about other ways.
You think that you have to do and say whatever society wants you to do and say.
But me, I actually listen and understand.
There might be only one thing that I don't understand in this world.
That thing is why can't more people be like me and actually listen and understand.
But as time flies by I guess I can understand.
More people can't be like me because we are all our own beings and that is a thing that I can never change.
All I am asking of you is to listen and understand like I do for you.
Society doesn't control your life you do.
So listen and understand and that's when everything in this world makes sense.
It's the most simple rules of life.
Use these two rules and everything will work out.
Listen and understand, just listen and understand I tell you.
